'A Bully Only Respects A Bully, We Will RETALIATE- Gani Adams Warns Buhari Over Herdsmen's Trouble In SW

Yoruba interest group, the Aare Onakakanfo Council, has threatened a reprisal attack on Fulani herders wreaking havoc across the South-western states.

The group led by famous traditionalist, Gani Adams, charged the federal government to immediately step into the security issues being fomented by the fulanis to foreclose a large-scale security problem as the group is considering all options to retaliate.

The Council, which listed in a communique this week, major hideouts of Fulanis across the six states in the region, stressed that the Yoruba people have now been pushed to the breaking point and are ready to fight back in efforts to stop the massive plundering, killings and kidnappings. 

The communique reads in part:

“The campaign of blood by Fulani herdsmen, who have been ravaging our land, kidnapping, killing, maiming and raping our people in recent years has become a serious source of concern for the Yoruba race; a race renowned for their staunch passion for peaceful coexistence, national cohesion, and development,” read the communique signed by Adams and  read.

“It is disheartening and most embarrassing that the group, despite several appeals to their consciousness and common sense, has continued to wreak havoc on our land, and forcibly planning to reap where they have not sown.

“They have been plundering Yorubaland, and we recognize evil when we see it. Every true blood of the Yoruba race is at the risk of being haunted and slaughtered by this reckless group if we keep sugar-coating the bloody implications of their evil enterprise.

“We are acquainted with the nature of Fulani nomads in the past, and we know as a matter of fact that they were not carrying AK47s. It is because of this naked truth that we ask that these people be labelled as what they are.

“Consequently, we hereby ask these Fulani marauders to stop their murderous activities and vacate every inch of Yorubaland they currently ravage. Failure to reconcile themselves with these terms may warrant maximum retaliation as the principle dictates that a bully only respects a bully.”

The council listed some areas in the southwestern region as dark spots where the federal government’s intervention is needed.

It advised the kings and local chiefs to be more conscious of the activities of people in their midst, saying it is their duty to account for and monitor strangers in their jurisdiction.

The council also warned “all Yoruba sons and daughters in power” that they risk being declared persona non grata if they fail to use their capacities to speak up against the ills and injustice ravaging Yorubaland.
