A pressure group, Fan Allah Fulani Association of Nigeria (GAFDAN), has threatened to take Ekiti State governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose, to court for
every cow killed, not only in Ekiti State, but in the entire South-West. The Ekiti State governor was quoted to have threatened to poison water sources in the state as a measure against rampaging Fulani herdsmen.
According to a statement signed by the secretary general of the association, Alhaji Sale Bayeri, which was made available to us in Jos, the association strongly condemned the statement by the governor.
It called on all its members, particularly in Ekiti State, and other South-West states to take inventory of their loses in cattle and livestock lost to poisoning either in water or grasses to the association.

According to the association, it directed its members to forward their complaints to the headquarters for immediate legal action, adding that the association’s lawyers had been given the appropriate directive. The association called on its members to be law- abiding and remain calm in the face of unprecedented statement of recklessness from a serving governor.
“As a lawful association, we believe in the rule of law and shall never resort to taking any criminal and unlawful steps to counter this reckless directive and order of Governor Fayose. We shall ensure that the law takes its course between us as law-abiding Nigerians,” said the association.”
