You Can't Be Kidnapping, Raping, Killing Us And Expect Us To Be Quite, Governor Akeredulo fires back At Miyetti Allah Leaders.
Following Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore, Bello Abdullahi Bodej, warning to Governor Rotimi Akeredolu that he shouldn’t dare the Fulani.”
The Senior Special Assistant on Security to the Ondo State governor, Jimoh Dojumo said, “nobody was provoking the Fulani, what we are advising is to caution their people, the herdsmen to live within the confines of the law here.
They cannot be raping us, they cannot be killing our people, they cannot be kidnapping our people and demanding ransom from our people and they want us to be quiet.
“We all live in Nigeria; can anybody go to Kano or any part of the North and start doing all these atrocities they are doing here. That is what we are saying and there is an order in place that needs to be enforced.

What we are saying has an alternative, which is come and register, we want to know you; we want to know people who are occupying our forests. That is what we are saying. All this their talking of war, is out of it; we are not for war. Ours is peaceful approach to everything.”
On the claims by Miyetti Allah that the Constitution guarantees freedom for every citizen to move and live in any part of the country without harassment by anybody, Dojumo said it is very correct, but pointed out that the constitution also spells out that, “you are to live peacefully with your host community; you are to live within the consent of law; you don’t have to go and become a criminal, kidnapping people, murdering people, robbing people. I don’t think that the constitution is interpreted that way.”
