'Go after killer-herders not hunters' - Igboho to police

Chief Sunday Adeyemo, a Yoruba rights activist, popularly known as Sunday Igboho has advised security operatives to go after killer-herders and not local hunters.

In the now-viral video posted by Chief Femi Fani-Kayode on his official Twitter handle, as obtained by The Nation, Igboho, speaking in Yoruba dialect, cautioned security agencies against framing innocent people.

He also cautioned security operatives not to be biased in carrying out the shoot-on-sight directive given by President Muhammadu Buhari. Igboho said Yoruba leaders were happy with the directive, as it would end herdsmen menace.

He, however, advised security operatives to go after killer-herdsmen and bandits armed with AK-47 rifles in their hideouts as revealed by an Islamic cleric, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi.
