The National Publicity Secretary of Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF), Emmanuel Yawe, has called on the Federal government to arrest one Sunday Igboho for inciting the Yorubas against the Fulanis.
He made the call through a statement he issued yesterday titled “Stop the drift in the Southwest”. He noted that the cold war in the 60’s started with attacks and counterattacks likened to what is happening presently in the Southwest.
The statement further said that those who carried out attacks on the Fulani communities, including Sunday Igboho especially regarding the quit notice he made, to face the full weight of the law.
It read that, “the Arewa Consultative Forum this morning received reports of an attack by Yoruba youths on Alhaji Saliu Abdulkadir, the Seriki Fulani in Oyo State. In the report, he was attacked and driven out of his house, eleven cars and his house burnt with his family members now living in the bush.
“There are allegations that one Sunday Igboho, an agitator for the Oodua Republic and who issued an ultimatum giving Fulani people seven days to leave Yoruba land, is the instigation of the attack.
“The most disturbing aspect of the attack is the allegation that the security agents who were earlier warned about its imminence, stood by helplessly as the attack was carried out”.
