Following the killing of two farmers; Mr Toyin Akeju, also known locally as Jisoro, and Mr Yusuf Onuche by suspected fulani herdsmen the Peoples Democratic Party has called on Governor Kayode Fayemi to compel leaders of herders in the state to fish out the farmers’ killers.
The farmers were killed in Isaba Ekiti in the Ikole council area of Ekiti State.
The opposition party, in a statement by its state Publicity Secretary, Raphael Adeyanju, titled, ‘Stop playing politics with lives of Ekiti people, be proactive against herdsmen, PDP said:
“The governor must stop shedding crocodile tears and acting political correctness on the killings in the state.
“It is important that leaders of Fulani herders in the state are summoned by the government and handed a marching order to produce killers of those persons in Isaba Ekiti because they cannot claim not to know the killers among their people.
“The governor has to engage leaders of the Fulanis as done by his predecessor, Ayo Fayose, when he was governor so that they can join hands with government to flush out criminal elements among them. The killing by herders must stop now and Governor Fayemi must act with sincerity of purpose.”
