Yoruba nation agitator, Sunday Igboho, has given suspected herders killing farmers in the Southwest a seven-day ultimatum to vacate the region. The freedom fighter, however, assured that the region would not take laws into its own hands against the herders.
A statement by Igboho reads partly: “While we believe in peaceful coexistence in Nigeria regardless of tribe, religion and political cleavages, we are issuing a seven-day ultimatum to herdsmen killing our people in any part of South West to vacate our communities now. 'This warning is very important. We are not going to take laws into our hands, but they must leave.
“For now, we have belief in the capability of the federal government under the leadership of President Bola Tinubu to ensure and guarantee the safety of lives and properties, particularly for farmers in Nigeria. 'We must not tolerate any act that can further push up the prices of food and other edible commodities.
