Youths in Ogun give herdsmen seven days to vacate communities

Barely 24 hours after suspected Fulani herdsmen gruesomely killed five persons in Owode Ketu, youths under the auspices of Yewa North Patriotic Forum has issued a seven-day ultimatum to killer herdsmen roaming or domiciled within Yewa North to quit the area.

The group gave the ultimatum in a press statement tagged, ‘YNPF to killer Fulani herdsmen: We can’t condone you beyond Seven days‘ and made available to DAILY POST on Friday, in Abeokuta.

According to the statement signed by the President of the group, Sani Omobolaji, residents of Yewa North have been living in fear and pains of recurrent killings which can only be traced to herders but have refused to fight back, hoping that solutions will be offered after complaints to the government.

The statement reads in part, “As responsible young people in Yewa North, We have tried to ensure that our coexistence works even when we are the legitimate owners of Yewa land, but Thursday’s gruesome killing of five of our people has shown that killer Fulani herdsmen can only live in their own world.
