Coordinator of the Oodua People’s Congress (OPC) in Kwara State, Ganiyu Oladipupo said Fulani herdsmen are behind the recent attacks in the state, warning bandits to stay away from the state or risk facing the wrath of the law.
Oladipupo, while calling the Kwara State Commissioner of Police, Amienbo Tuesday Assayomo, to investigate the crisis in the state, said the group would not allow bandits to take over the state. Speaking against the backdrop of the recent attack on Mr Raimi Saadu, a member of the OPC in Ifelodun Local Government Area of the state, Oladipupo said reports indicated that four suspected herdsmen attacked the OPC member in his farm, very close to Maternity Hospital, at Koko town, in Ifelodun Local Government Area of the state. While condemning the attack, he insisted that it is the duty of the Nigerian Police to ensure effective security across the state.
“Raimi Saadu was left in the pool of his blood by his attackers and has since been receiving treatment at undisclosed hospital in the state.The attack on one of our members was largely a case of herdsmen attack and I am sending a note of warning to these killer herdsmen, kidnappers and bandits to stay away from the state or risk being apprehended.
“I am using this opportunity to urge the Kwara State Commissioner of Police to embark on a thorough investigation in order to apprehend those behind the criminal acts,” he said.
