Fayose to settlers: Don’t turn state to war zone

There is tension in Oke Ako and Irele communities in Ikole local government area of Ekiti State following the alleged killing of a Fulani herdsman on Monday.

The herdsman, whose name was given as Babuba Dengi, was killed in a bush between the two communities by settlers suspected to be Benue State indigenes.

‎The incident forced the state Governor, Ayo Fayose, to summon a meeting on Tuesday night at the Government House in Ado Ekiti, where he warned farmers and herdsmen against turning the state to a “war zone


The governor has given a marching order to security agencies in the state to fish out the killers of the herdsman and bring them to justice.

Fayose warned that there is no room for the killing of Fulani herdsmen or farmers or anybody in the state, saying “recent steps taken by his administration to prevent violence between farmers and herdsmen do not give anybody license to unlawfully take human’s life.”

The governor spoke during a meeting with Fulani herdsmen under the aegis of Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria, farmers, local hunters, security agencies and representatives of the Tiv community in the state.

Fayose said: “I can’t accept anybody to be killed. If anybody killed anyone I will make sure you are killed by ensuring justice. I’m sad about the killing in Benue but we don’t want brutality in Ekiti.

“I won’t accept any killing here, the only thing acceptable here is peace. I therefore plead with everybody to cooperate with us.”

“I want peace in my state and everybody living here is from Ekiti whether you are Fulani, Tiv, Yoruba or anybod

highly commendable from fayose.
now this is what other governors should learn. do not take side and try as much as possible to be moderate.

Ok

Ghen ghen, fayoshe go hear am soon

I pray this doesn't escalate. I'm just tired of seeing bloodshed.

God punish Buhari

fayose should ensure this is contained ASAP because from the look of things i dont think the oga buboo will send any troop to defend ekiti people from his blood thirsty boys

TAKE NO PRISONERS FAYOSE WASTE THEM ALL KILL THOSE BLOODY VAMPIRES.

God will punish buhari Amen

Afterall fàyose indirectly charged the EKITI hunters to fight against herdsmen... Wot else did he expect?

Dem just start ni...

Maturity.

Sensitive issues calls for being sensitive.

If Fayose 'mis yarn' another ethnic war can start

Buhari ooooo

Uncle fayose ..

May God give you the wisdom to handle what i believe is coming ...

Its seems like the ball has been played to your own half of the field ..
I heard someone once say that freedom of speech is guaranteed but freedom AFTER speech is not ....
You have spoken a lot concerning and against bubu And his herdspeople ..
I just hope that they are not coming to shake the freedom you Have had after Your numerous speeches
..well if they are , i just pray God gives you wisdom to handle it applause-worthily


A CONCERNED NAIRALANDER

its well

Hmm

Fayose for president...



Fayose 1 Buhari 0

Lobatan!
This is exactly what I expect from every sane Nigerian.

There had been herdsmen, there are herdsmen & there will always be herdsmen. The people who perpetrate all the evil killings are those bought (by devilish politicians) & disguised as herdsmen.
Please let's be just in all actions we are about taking.

Fire on the mountain..... wait for return match

Ok

All we want is PEACE, war favours no one .... hand made men shoes, 0-8-1-8-1-6-6-3-6-1-6

Hmmm...... Fulanis always comes for retaliation after sharing kolanut and knife BTW dem

Now that's sensible talk. Something Muhammad "tribal tyrant" Buhari can't think up.

all governors, especially benue state and the crybaby enugu state governors should take a cue from fayose. this guy is not just a governor...he's a man of the people.




thunder will still fire boooohari and his fOooLani herdsmen, though!

Gehn Gehn. . . I smell trouble coming

Who is eating all this cow meat sef and how come these Fulanis are still so poor when the cows are more than 100k a head?

If you (those benue settlers) want to retaliate or revenge the death of your fellow statesmen, go to your state and form a force.... What you did will surely has a repercussion, bcus those blood thirsty Herdsmen will surely come back for revenge thereby attacking Ekiti state indigene.
.
Even though i don't support most of fayose policy, kudos to him for not siding with the killer, even though our president has kept mute on this issue.

Human life is valueless in Nigeria.
