Dethrone Seriki Fulani now - Miyetti Allah tells Oyo state

Miyetti Allah in Oyo State yesterday urged the state government and the Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi, to dethrone the embattled Seriki Fulani of Oyo State, Chief Saliu Kadiri.

He said the allegation against the Seriki is affecting the image of the Fulani community.

The Nation recalls that Kadiri was recently chased out of his Igangan home by aggrieved youths led by a Yoruba self-acclaimed activist, Sunday Adeyemo popularly called Sunday Igboho, following his alleged involvement in kidnapping and other crimes in the area.

Miyyeti Allah advised the Alaafin of Oyo and the government to replace Kadiri with a tested and trusted personality among the Fulani community.

The Seriki Fulani, however, described the allegation as false.

He urged the government and the Alaafin of Oyo to ignore it.
