Femi Fani Kayode Femi Fani Kayode

Majority of Fulani Herdsmen are savages, barbaric, wicked and terrorists, Femi Fani Kayode has said.

He made this declaration in a television interview on African Independent Television today.

Supporting the decision to enforce the establishment of Amotekun, a regional security outfit, the former minister noted it was important for the southwest to protect themselves from the hands of Fulani Herdsmen.

Narrating a scenario he expressed, the ex-SA to President Olusegun Obasanjo said:

"I went to South Kaduna, in 2016 on Christmas day and Christmas eve; 800 people were slaughtered by Fulani herdsmen over 2 days and nobody was arrested. See what they actually do- they take people's homes, take people's eyes out, desecrate the bodies of their victims, then they take their lands, burn their homes and occupy it and even rename the community and put Fulani names there."



Continuing his argument, he warned the Government to sort the issue of the bloodletting or welcome the establishment of Amotekun. According to him, the priority of the Yoruba people is his concern.

"This is settled, we know who they are. The question is does this government led by a Fulani man have a way to get stop his people from doing this kind of nonsense? If they do, we don't have a problem. But if they don't, they should not expect us to keep quiet and act as if all is well and turn our backs at the destruction of our own people."
