The Oodua Peoples’ Congress, Gani Adams faction has warned
Fulani herdsmen to be careful the way they trend in Yorubaland and shouldn’t mistake
Yoruba’s accommodating nature as a weakness. They described the abduction of
the former Minister of Finance, who was abducted by the herdsmen yesterday in
his farm in Ondo State as a sin against humanity.
In the statement, the Yoruba group said the era in which
herdsmen would invade farms in Yoruba land and vandalize property was gradually
making a comeback.
“We would want to know that the attribute of Yoruba people
to be accommodating is not something that should be abused,” said the
statement.
“For us, being accommodating is a virtue that was inculcated
into us by our forefathers, and should therefore not be seen as a weakness by
anybody
“We would, however want to send a note of warning that the
Federal Government should do all within its powers to ensure that Baba Falae is
returned to his family safe and sound,” the statement also said.
