The Chairman of Ogun State Farmers/Herders Peace-Building Committee, Hon. Kayode Oladele, on Saturday warned farmers in Yewa border towns to stop going to farm until further notice.
“We are happy to know that you have remained as peaceful people who refused to take the laws into your hands even in the face of threat to life. Hon Oladele however debunked reports that victims rejected palliatives offered by the State Government. “To be candid, when I contacted the Chairman of YNLG, Hon Bankole about a farmer that was killed last week, I was told his people have relocated to their homeland which is Republic of Bénin.The original settlers, Ketus, who are also Yewas, are still there. What they don’t do is that, they don’t go to farm for fear of herders attack.“I said don’t go now. We are working on this matter.
“Those, who have alternative, that have fled to where they believe is their ancestral place are free to remain there.
