The incessant destruction of farmlands, killing of farmers and raping of their wives and daughters in Ondo State has drawn the attention of the Deji of Akure, Aladetoyinbo Aladelusi
Expressing concern and worries, the Akure Monarch called on the Federal Government to tackle the problem with utmost severity in order to return peace and development to the area.
This was contained in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Michael Adeyeye, on Monday in Akure.
He warned the situation might get out control is the nuisance they constitute is not quickly and urgently addressed by the Federal Government which he said, is obviously assuming a dangerous peak with every passing day.
“The federal government should pay attention and tackle the issue of Fulani herdsmen which is fast becoming a serious menace and threat to peace in Akure as well as other South west states,” Mr. Aladelusi said.
“The incessant attacks on farmers and other residents in some parts of Akure is becoming a source of major concern.

“The recent attack on and wanton destruction of the farmland belonging to the former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Olu Falae, is condemnable and must be nip in the bud once and for all; considering the far-reaching effects of this unprovoked and recurring attack if not quickly checked.”
On restructuring of the country, the Monarch said that remains the only way forward for Nigeria under the existing circumstances.
“The current imbalance in our fiscal federalism which has crippled almost some of the potentially viable states should be addressed as a matter of urgency,” he said.
“We cannot pretend to assume that all is well when there are critical issues to be addressed.
“The government must however, be strategic, pro-active and timely in addressing some national issues at stake which could make or mar our continued existence as a strong and united Nigeria.
