I Support Sunday Igboho To Flush Out Killer Fulani Herdsmen – Son Of Seriki Fulani Of Eggua

The first son of the Seriki Fulani in Eggua, Sulaimon Adamu, on Monday, disclosed that his father has relocated to Abeokuta after Yoruba activist, Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, visited the community which saw their house burnt.

Adamu, however, did not reveal the area his father relocated to Abeokuta after the incident.

Seriki’s son stated this on Monday while speaking with SaharaReporters on the atrocities of killer Fulani herders in Eggua, Yewa North Local Government Area of Ogun State.

Recall that Igboho a few days ago stormed Eggua with his men to assist residents of the community drive out Fulani herdsmen.

The residence of the Seriki Fulani of Eggua, Adamu Olooru, was set ablaze as he was blamed for not acting on criminal activities perpetrated by killer Fulani herders in the area.

It was also gathered that a section of the market belonging to Fulani settlers where they sold cows was burnt.

One person was killed and several cows are still missing.

“I am a Fulani herder, but I was born in Asa, a community close to Eggua. My parents relocated here. My parents are Fulani from Ilorin. When I was growing up, Yoruba farmers and Fulani herders were friends with cordial relationships and no fights.”

“But now, things have changed, and it is something that disturbs me a lot. People don’t know that the Fulani herders from the upper Niger are the criminals. The Fulani herders from Sokoto, Kebbi and other core North areas are the ones killing people.”

“They fight and kill Fulani people that are settlers like us too, so these nomads are the criminals that the government should fight and punish so that Nigeria can have peace.”

“My father, Adamu Olooru, was sad about the recent happenings when Sunday Igboho came and burnt our house. He has relocated to Abeokuta for now.”

When asked if he felt threatened about the current wave of activism that Igboho had brought to South-West in a bid to flush out killer Fulani herders, Adamu said he was in total support of it because he was not a criminal.

“I am not a criminal so I have nothing to fear. I support Sunday Igboho fully to help us arrest these criminals. But, what I am not happy about is that they also generalise when they are doing their jobs. They should not be like the Nigeria Police that cannot differentiate between criminals and innocent people.”
