"This is the last warning I am giving you" - Governor Fayose warned Fulani herders
The recent killing of a pregnant Tiv woman in Orin Ekiti by people alleged to be Fulani herders, led to lampooning of Serikin Fulani in the state, Muhammed Abashe has the governor, who was furious could not hide his feeling about what could be described as failed leadership by Abashe for not stopping his kinsmen from destroying farms.
Fayose made it clear that the Serikin Fulani Muhammed Abashe, will be held responsible for any further attack in the state, while also condemning herdsmen attacks on residents “at the slightest provocation.”
Fayose disclosed this at a separate peace meetings with Fulani herdsmen under the aegis of Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria, farmers, local hunters, security agencies and representatives of the Tiv community in Ado Ekiti, held on Friday and Saturday nights
Fayose said, “If you (Fulani herders) still want to stay among us, you must accept the responsibility to ensure that none of our peoples’ farms is destroyed by herdsmen any longer.
“None of our people must be killed by your men, either they are strangers or those herdsmen living among us.
“If any killing or destruction of farms of our people occurs again in that area, I will ensure that I use the law to fight you their leader on it. This is the last warning I am giving you,” he warned.
The governor also said the activities of the Fulani herders had continued to tarnish the names of President Muhammadu Buhari and other notable Fulani leaders in the country.
Hence, it's mandary for Fulani herders to register with N5,000 in their host communities for identity and location.
