- The Afenifere group has condemned the recent attack on a farmland belonging to Chief Olu Falae

- The group said the attacks by suspected herdsmen has gone too far

- The publicity secretary of Afenifere group, Yinka Odumakin, said the attack on Falae's farm is unacceptable

A social cultural Yoruba group has condemned the attack on an oil palm plantation belonging to the 1999 presidential candidate of the Alliance for Democracy, Olu Falae.

The Afenifere group said the continued attacks by suspected herdsmen on Falae's farm have gone too far.

"The group's publicity secretary, Yinka Odumakin said: “It is continuation of the declaration of war by armed Fulani herdsmen, who have been terrorising communities and are now burning farmlands. Now, they have gone to Falae’s farm.

These people have made up their mind to go to war or have their way and the authority has refused to call them to order," Odumakin said.

The latest on Falae’s farm is clearly unacceptable, an aggression by the Fulani and they should be rest assured that the Yoruba nation will not take it likely.

“If they think that with all these they are doing, they will have one inch of land for cattle colony in any part of Yoruba land, they should forget it," he said.
