Serving Overseer of the Citadel Global Community Church in Lagos, Pastor Tunde Bakare, has said that popular Yoruba rights activist, Sunday Adeyemo, well known as Sunday Igboho must act within the ambits of the law to avert inter-tribal crisis in the country.

Bakare, who said he planned to meet with Igboho very soon, stressed that indiscriminate violence was not the way to handle the current herdsmen crisis rocking parts of the country.

“Igboho looks like a man who wants to fight for his people because they were murdered and raped but he must operate within the ambits of the law.

“Indiscriminate violence is an ill-wind that will blow no one any good and remember before you attack the Fulani in the South-West, there are Yorubas and other ethnic nationalities living in their own communities too and if they open fire on them, it will be so indiscriminate and we must avert it.

“It is an ill-wind and we must avert it before it gets out of hands,” the cleric said on Thursday while featuring on Arise TV’s The Morning Show monitored by The PUNCH.

Bakare further said that the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, as well as other monarchs and leaders of thought in Yorubaland must be respected.

The PUNCH had reported Wednesday that Igboho said the Ooni disappointed the Yoruba people when he visited the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), of recent over the herdsmen crisis rocking the South-West region.

The activist, who issued a seven-day quit notice to herdsmen accused of sundry crimes in the Ibarapa area of Oyo State and enforced same, said Oba Ogunwusi failed to convey the pains and displeasure of the Yoruba people to the President during the visit.

Hours later, Igboho, however, begged for forgiveness from the the monarch whom he described as a father.

Commenting on the matter on Thursday, Bakare said, “I am glad that he has apologised. The ancient stool of Ile-Ife, the Ooni of Ife must be respected and all Obas should be respected and no one should drag them or their names in the mud.

“One of the things that men of goodwill needs to do is that we can see that what is causing this is leadership deficit in almost all over the country, South-West inclusive, we have to avoid all reckless rhetorics, we are not barbarics, we must not allow those things to be in the front of the burner at all.”

The cleric called for end to open grazing in order to stop the Fulani herdsmen and farmer clashes rocking parts of the country.

Craze man.. So bandits operate from within the law?
All we need are results, be it through conventional/unconventional means

We are beginning to know people loyal to the caliphate and those who have sold their souls

By their action and silence u would know them ...from igbo leaders to Yorubas ...

Let's mark them and make sure they never near power again

Pastor, justice begets peace!

Is the modafu*kin president operating within the law?

Fulani terrorist murderers do not OPERATE WITHIN THE LAW, but victims of fulani violence and genocide must OPERATE WITHIN THE LAW. In other words: Victims must not use GUNS and ak47s to defend themselves, but should rather pray and depend on Nigeria's fulanized security agencies for protection. More like sitting ducks ready for slaughter by murderers hiding in bushes and forests.

This is how they allow fulani terrorists to rape, murder and slaughter women, children, and helpless people in the name of Law.

Self defence against terrorists and murderers is a UNIVERSAL HUMAN RIGHT!
TO HELL WITH NIGERIAN LAW!!

Which law is this one on about
Who know man na im dey kill man
Go tell fulani herdsmen too now

This man is drunk on 2023,
Nigeria is the only country where trespassing is not enforced on the herders,
Big zoo

Bakare buhari friend should learn how to shut up his mouth in some issues.

Because he can afford to fly around with tithe monies....God will Judge u all

If you want peace,prepare for war. chinese proverb.

Rubbish! The yoruba who are living in the north are leaving there peacefully, they are not involve in neferous and criminal activities like killing, kidnapping and raping of women and taken forceful control of host communities indigenes farmland. That is against the dictate of constitution. Be that as it may, u can't be seeing as if u are admonishing igboho in order to be in the good book of Buhari.

Why is my people behaving like the slave they are being tag, u are there for many years this atrocities of fulani hersmen been perpetrated non of u is speaking up in defense of a Yoruba daughter whose mother we're killed indiscriminately or of boy whose father only offense was that he went to his farm to harvest his yam and he met his death and his throat sliced.

Why are you all been so stupid by not being a vocal voices against evil herdsmen in 21century. Does fulani enjoys privileges and special status over others law abiding citizens of Nigeria?

I really think Bakare and his other foot solders are being economical with the truth. Buhari was elected as the president of Nigeria and not Hausa/Fulani's president as his actions suggest.

His name will go down into the history as the most decisive and ethnic bigot president ever.

Yoruba are not the one to be blame, there to be commended for standing in defense for their people in the face of coordinated silence by the authorities who makes it look like bearing of unlicensed arms for fulani hersmen is a legal thing but illegal for others.

You people keep burying your heads deep in chicken shít in your bid to be politically correct despite the fact that you're under a violent, state supported siege by terrorists. The political ambitions of you and or your principals are worth the lives of your people

I remember a certain time when Yorubas would flood IGBO/IPOB threads and start mocking Nnamdi Kanu/Biafra agenda of how the disunity amongst Igbos would derail Biafra,esp coming from the IGBO political elites.
Now I can see how united Yoruba elites/politicians are with Sunday Igboho in flushing Killer Fulani herdsmen off their lands & achieving the impossible Oduduwa republic
The caliphate/fulani controls all Southern Politicians as long as the affairs of Nigeria is concerned.So NO fvcking tribe should claim more united than the other.
E don clear for Una eyes say the fight Nnamdi Kanu dey fight no be small fight.
Sunday Igboho never last one month,e don dey beg upandan

LAW

Are herdsmen men kill people in the armpit of the law? Is this the first time this is happening without any arrest or trial of any of this killer? Let get the facts right Pastor Tunde, Yoruba are not fighting Fulanis, they are after the criminal Fulanis that the government is protecting to unleash their terror. The Police are not doing anything to stop the killing and it results to self defense.

Where is the law?...when Buhari himself is not operating within the law.

When will Tunde Bakare condemn the kidnapping, killings and rapping of innocent women by Fulanis?

Yeye
