The settlement of the Seriki Fulani of Oyo State, Alhaji Saliu Abdulkadir, was allegedly set on fire by aggrieved youths on Friday night.

Abdulkadir told SaharaReporters in Ibadan that he, his wives and children were sent out of the settlement, adding that 11 vehicles and houses were burnt in the process.

He told SaharaReporters that despite assurance by the police and the people of the state, his house was burnt in the presence of security agents.

He said, "As we speak, we are in the bush. Our cars, numbering about 11, have been burnt. Some of my children sustained injuries and we are looking for a way to get them to hospital. My children have left their houses for the bush. We need the government to help us. Police, Operation Burst and other security agencies were there when they set my house ablaze."

Chairman of Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association in the state, Alhaji Ibrahim Jiji, also confirmed the incident to our correspondent on the phone.

He said, "As we usually say, not all Fulani people are evil. Good people are among us. What can we call this now? The man is a gentleman and see how he was chased out of his house. We need the government to act now," he said.

Sunday Adeyemo, an agitator for Oodua Republic, better known as Sunday Igboho, on Friday visited some Oyo communities to confirm compliance of Fulani people with the seven-day ultimatum he had given them last Thursday to leave Ibarapa and Igangan areas of Oyo State.

Fulani herdsmen have largely been blamed for the growing cases of killing and kidnapping in southwestern Nigerian.

Speaking with SaharaReporters early Friday morning, he affirmed his decision to visit the communities despite the threats by the Governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde, to arrest him.

In a video shared online, Igboho was well received during his visit to the Igangan community as scores of people converged for his reception.

The people were seen jubilating; dancing and singing.

Addressing the people, Igboho said, "The Fulani have gone, we have sent them out of our land and they cannot come back again. Kidnappers cannot rule over us, they can't take over our land from us. It belongs to us; they should stop threatening.

"Those who live with us peacefully; we are not fighting them but how will a visitor claim one's house from him. If you live with us in peace, we have no problem with you but if you decide to kidnap and kill us, we don't want you here. I assure Yoruba people, particularly those in Oyo State, that there is no danger.

"This one we have started here in Oyo State will not end here. We are going to other parts of the South-West. Tell Fulani herdsmen in Ekiti State, Ondo State and Osun States; in fact, in all South-West states that they should get ready for us because we are coming."

In an interview with SaharaReporters, Igboho also alleged that the istration of President Muhammadu Buhari had not brought anything good to the people of the South-West except social vices.

Igboho, therefore, called on the president to take the Fulani out of Yorubaland.

"Buhari should come and evacuate his people from our land, we don't want them again. They are just punishing the youths; they have turned us to nothing, why? The educated youth don't have jobs, nothing, the gain now is to kill and kidnap us. We are still on the unemployment issue, we have accepted our fate, should we not be in peace and enjoy security again? It's enough,” he said.

Earlier in the week, Igboho also alleged that when he visited Seriki Fulani of Oyo State, Alhaji Saliu Abdulkadir, at his home to urge him to do something about the killings and kidnappings being carried out by suspected Fulani herdsmen in the state, some Fulani people there threatened him with guns and also shot at him.

He alleged that one Fulani man also brought out an axe to threaten him.

11 cars? Kidnapping tins.

mightyhazel:

I wonder ooo.


Which "home" e dey talk about? His home is far North. They should go to their home and stop killing people that want to farm, kidnapping people that struggle to earn a legitimate living.

Enough is enough!

Ha!

Please accept our sin-party.

Because the fulani were left unchecked, they believed they are now untouchable..

Killings and Kidnapping here and there and buhari issued no statement but immediately gov akeredolu made that exit statement, see the FG foaming from the mouth and anus.
So it shows whatever ill is going on in Nigeria is OK with this evil government

Buhari himself knows his people have fcccckked up big time which is why he is silent at this time.

The Fulanis should call their people to order otherwise Rwanda will be a child's play. Zamfara, katsina Kaduna we all know they are the ones masquerading as bandits but they will blatantly deny the fact, I understand we have indigenous peace loving Fulani that settle in the towns and intermarry with the Hausa, what I don't understand is why are we still having killer herdsmen coming from Senegal and Mali and keep terrorising our lands?

They are now looking for cheap sympathy. Like they do show their victims any atom of it.

Watch how they are calling on bubu for help. Fulani are bunch of cowards without the FG backings.

"We need the government to help us. Police, Operation Burst and other security agencies were there when they set my house ablaze." In the presence of other security agencies.. If you know, you know

The Fulani don't have allies anywhere SW they've succeeded in wrecking havoc there same goes for NC, NE, SS, and SE.

Everywhere they visit they cause destruction to the lives and property of their host and people are already feed up, while this is going on Buhari has suddenly turn deaf and dumb and won't say or do anything about it....

Oooh. Oooh... Lol. I go drink to stupor tonight to rejoice with my yoruba prople.

Mazi is watching this events and he is filled with joy and delight.

All Ndigbo congratulate Yorubas, let us work together as allies. We dont need to be united, we are not same people, very different, but as allies for social progress.

God punish seriki fulani and scatter his family back to futa jallon.

Tueh! I spit on his household. God punish him.

SuperBold:
The wailers deeks are rising in arousal, they couldn't believe Yoruba can achieve in two days what they have been trying to do for 5 years. Don't worry Yoruba will teach you how to deal with Fulani

In 2021 we are still talking about some set of people who refuse to buy hectares of land for ranching, in order to do their business peacefully, its just so shameful...

Instead of the government to find a lasting solution they would rather want to talk about Ruga and not say anything about the wanton killing and destruction going on everywhere by the herdsmen.....

This Is Loving And Commendable, God Bless You Sunday Igboho

ESN has been extricating, excavating and extrapolating the freaks from their forest hideouts in East. Even their police came to intervene and met fire. The bastards took off and left their van behind.

While fulani is killing us down here state governments in arewa is rewarding the bastards with hilux and cash currency in millions. End this fvkng conutry
