Chief Adamu Ibrahim is the Sarkin Fulani of Igua, Yewa North Local Area of Ogun State. Barely five weeks after his houses and property were set on fire during Sunday Igboho’s visit to the area, Ibrahim spoke exclusively to DAILY POST’s ISHOLA OLUDARE from an undisclosed location.
Excerpts:
What will you say about the recent killings in Yewa axis of Ogun State by those alleged to be Fulani herdsmen?
In the past four to five years, we warned the people of Asa, Agbon-Ojodu, Ebute Igbooro and others to stop killing Fulani herders and their cows. They killed our people without destroying their farms. They killed herders and their cows for no just reason. We kept taking records of the incidents to the office of the Commissioner of Police in Abeokuta. We talked and talked, but nothing changed. We don’t have any power than to complain. But we don’t know how everything turned chaotic this year. You know if you continue beating someone everyday, one day the person will beat you back. That is a Yoruba proverb and it is what is happening in that area this year.
