The Yoruba Regional Alliance of Self Determination Groups Across the World has described the establishment of the Nomad Vigilante group by Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore as an invitation to anarchy.
The association made this declaration while addressing a press conference on Wednesday in Ibadan, Oyo State capital.
OsunDailyNG recalls that Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore, the Fulani Socio-Cultural Association, last week inaugurated a Nomad Vigilante group in Nasarawa State. https://dailypost.ng/2024/01/17/nasarawa-miyetti-allah-floats-vigilante-group-to-tackle-insecurity/
The pan-Yoruba association has however described the development as a recipe for chaos and anarchy.
Chairman and Secretary of the association, Bashorun Kunle Adesokan and Architect Opeoluwa Akinola, respectively, urged the Federal Government not to allow the vigilante outfit.
โAnyone who is interested in the security of their livestock should buy a piece of land and build a ranch to quarantine their animals within a defined space, and organize their security within those boundaries.
โThe Federal Government of Nigeria is hereby put on notice that this is a recipe for anarchy as we shall not accept it under any guise.
โThe result, of course will be predictable anarchy.
โAll parts of Yorubaland are advised accordingly. Under no circumstances will they be welcome or accepted anywhere in Yorubaland. Whoever is toying with that thought of deploying them to Yorubaland should immediately perish the thought.
โWe must all remember what caused the โOperation โWetieโ in the 1960s and the โJune 12โณ crisis in the 1990s. Both were the result of the Fulaniโs underestimation of Yoruba resolve to resist the tyranny of the North,โ the association said.
