Our people now live in fear in the South West We’re not waging war against Fulani – Sunday Igboho

Yoruba rights activist, Chief Sunday Adeyemo, also known as Sunday Igboho, in this interview conducted in the Yoruba language, declares that the Yoruba race can only protect their lives and property by themselves from criminal herdsmen. He also speaks on other sundry issues.

Excerpts:

What is the way out of farmers/herdsmen clashes in the South-West?

I have said it many times, government alone cannot provide security. The Yoruba people need to first take their security into their hands.

They should learn to provide their security in any way they deem fit, without first waiting for the government.

But how did we get to where we find ourselves now? If the government at various levels had taken proactive steps, they would have nipped the crisis in the bud before it snowballed into this.

We can’t continue to live in the fear of the unknown in Yorubaland. Enough is enough. Where was the government when the killer herdsmen were killing innocent people in Yorubaland? How many of the killer herdsmen have they brought to book?

I will not wait till foreigners kill my people before I do the right thing. I will continue to fight for the cause of justice till I die. I can’t be intimidated by anybody; I only fear God Almighty.
