BEVERLY HILLS, January 27, (THEWILL) – Amid heated ethnic tension in Ondo and some parts of Oyo State, Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, met with President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday, behind closed doors.
Although, purpose of the meeting is not known as at press time, the visit, THEWILL learnt, may not be unconnected with recent tension generated by the vacation order to Fulani herders.
Fulani herders have been accused of being responsible for the rise in sundry crimes including kidnapping, maiming and killing of farmers in the Southwest.
Governor Rotimi Akeredolu had issued a two-week quit notice to the herders to leave the Ondo state forests, arguing the criminals among the herders are using the reserves as hideouts for their heinous activities.
On Friday, January 22, some Yoruba youth led by a popular activist, Sunday Igboho ,stormed Igangan town in Ibarapa region of Oyo state to chase the Fulani herders out of the community after the expiration of the quit notice earlier issued.
