Governor Fayose of Ekiti state has stated that he will never allow anybody to turn Ekiti to a war zone. He maintained that nobody has the right to take the life of another under the cover of the sparked tension which was heated after the Fulani Herdsmen declared war against Benue people that led to the burial of 73 innocent people on one day in Benue state.
At a meeting with stakeholders from the Fulani and Benue communities, Ayo Fayose, governor of the state said there would be no unlawful killing under his watch.
Fayose also said recent measures put in place by his administration were to prevent violence between farmers and herdsmen.
He sounded a clear warning when he said:
“I can’t accept anybody to be killed. If anybody kills anyone, I will make sure you are killed by ensuring justice. I’m sad about the killing in Benue but we don’t want brutality in Ekiti,” he said.
“I won’t accept any killing here, the only thing acceptable here is peace. I, therefore, plead with everybody to cooperate with us. I want peace in my state and everybody living here is from Ekiti whether you are Fulani, Tiv, Yoruba or anybody.
“Cow matter can’t cause problems between us. “When you are entering Ekiti, drop wherever you are coming from at the boundary. You can’t kill Yoruba, Fulani, Igbo or Tiv here.
