OPC Spits Fire: Return Chief Falae Now!

The Oodua Peoples’ Congress, Gani Adams faction has warned Fulani herdsmen to be careful the way they trend in Yorubaland and shouldn’t mistake Yoruba’s accommodating nature as a weakness. They described the abduction of the former Minister of Finance, who was abducted by the herdsmen yesterday in his farm in Ondo State as a sin against humanity.

In the statement, the Yoruba group‎ said the era in which herdsmen would invade farms in Yoruba land and vandalize property was gradually making a comeback.

“We would want to know that the attribute of Yoruba people to be accommodating is not something that should be abused,” said the statement.

“For us, being accommodating is a virtue that was inculcated into us by our forefathers, and should therefore not be seen as a weakness by anybody

“We would, however want to send a note of warning that the Federal Government should do all within its powers to ensure that Baba Falae is returned to his family safe and sound,” the statement also said.
