In the Ogbomoso South local government area of Oyo State, community leaders and residents have delivered a two-day ultimatum to a group of Fulani herdsmen for evicting their livestock from the region. This move was prompted by security concerns and recent incidents, including kidnappings and livestock damage. The ultimatum was issued during a community meeting held on Monday, attended by local leaders, including the Baale of Ibapon, Prince Aderemi Olude, and members of Ogbomoso Parapo.
Ashifat Akanji, a community leader, urged the herdsmen to comply with the deadline immediately. The traditional ruler emphasized that the communities have lived peacefully with some Fulani herders under the guidance of a recognized leader, but the recent arrivals have caused damage and posed a threat to safety. The affected communities, located in the Samaday area, include Ibapon Are Oluwamodupe, Ayedire, Mercy land, Estate, Irewolede, Ona Igbala, Ifesowapo, and Grace land.
The residents are determined to address the security threats and protect their properties, taking legal action if necessary.
