Following the killing of two persons
in Ekiti by Fulani herdsmen, the Ekiti state governor has declared war on
herdsmen in the state. Speaking yesterday, May 23, 2016 when he paid a courtesy visit
to the families of dead, Governor Fayose who promise to raise N2,5 million for the
families of the dead also said he would raise N2.5 million for local hunters to
defend the communities against the herdsmen.
“Before leaving you today, I will
raise for you (hunters) #2.5m, Secondly, I will raise #2.5m again for the
affected families,” Fayose said. Speaking further, he added: “I want to say it
very clearly, everything you want me to do, I will do. Because the moment you
are not secured then I had better resigned as a governor.

“We have sacrificed enough blood in the unending cycle of bloodletting by Fulani herdsmen, the latest being those killed in Ekiti two days ago. The responsible action of the governor should jolt the Federal Government that has appeared largely indifferent to the murderous activities of the Fulani herdsmen to act responsibly over this matter. “We fully endorse this action, which is in conformity with the resolution of the 2014 National Conference that cattle breeders must embrace ranching as against grazing reserves being canvassed in certain quarters,” said Mr. Odumakin. Mr. Fayose is the first State governor to ban cattle grazing. He announced the ban during a visit to Oke-Ako in Ikole Local Government Area of the State, which was invaded by herdsmen last Friday. The invasion resulted in the death of two residents of the town and injuries to many others. The governor also announced that a bill to criminalize the movement of cattle from one location to another in the State would be sent to the State legislature.
