Former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Chief Olu Falae

Apex socio-cultural Yoruba organization, Afenifere has reacted after Fulani herdsmen on Sunday reportedly attacked the farm of a former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Chief Olu Falae and set it on fire.

The sad incident took place at the oil palm plantation located at Ilado Village in Akure North Local Government Area of Ondo State. Afenifere’s National Publicity Secretary, Mr Yinka Odumakin said that the herdsmen have declared war against Yorubas. He said the incident is unacceptable.

Odumakin said: “It is continuation of the declaration of war by armed Fulani herdsmen, who have been terrorising communities and are now burning farmlands. Now, they have gone to Falae’s farm. These people have made up their mind to go to war or have their way and the authority has refused to call them to order. The latest on Falae’s farm is clearly unacceptable, an aggression by the Fulani and they should be rest assured that the Yoruba nation will not take it likely.

“If they think that with all these they are doing, they will have one inch of land for cattle colony in any part of Yoruba land, they should forget it.”
