Africa-Press-Nigeria:<\/p>\n
The Aare Onakakanfo of Yorubaland, Iba Gani Adams, has warned criminal herdsmen in the Southwest to leave immediately.<\/p>\n
He said failure to adhere to the warning would mean such elements were ready to face the wrath of the Oodua Peoples Congress (OPC).<\/p>\n
Adam\u2019s reaction followed the breach of Professor Wole Soyinka\u2019s Ijegba residence by herders.<\/p>\n
In a statement by his spokesman on Thursday, the Yoruba leader said the encroachment was a threat to the privacy of the Nobel laureate.<\/p>\n
Adams said reports available to him from Southwest states showed that criminal herdsmen have migrated from Ibarapa in Oyo State to Yewa in Ogun State.<\/p>\n
The Aare said this had increased the spate of insecurity, stressing that the activities of criminal Fulani herdsmen had become unbearable.<\/p>\n
Adams wondered why President Muhammadu Buhari has been complacent about the security situation in the Southwest.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe thank God that the recent encroachment on Prof\u2019s residence failed. The fundamental problem in this country is that we have a President that seems to be complacent on serious issues.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is in our own interest to continue to raise our voices against the unprecedented threats to the southwest region.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Aare advised Southwest governors to boost the recruitment of OPC, Vigilante and Hunters in Amotekun to further strengthen the security outfit.<\/p>\n
Adams appealed to the Lagos State Government to inaugurate Amotekun as soon as possible, adding that delay was dangerous.<\/p>\n
