Akeredolu orders arrest of vigilante group in the state
States that;
The state government has witnessed with utmost dismay, an orchestrated campaign in respect of the above subject matter.
The intention of the sponsors and their echoers is undoubtedly, to discredit the administration of Governor Rotimi Akeredolu and ostensibly, incite the people against the Ondo State Government.
Not only did he disown the move, if at all, he indeed ordered the Police to arrest anyone or group which parades itself as Fulani Vigilante.
The governor’s position was decisive even as it was pointedly consequential.
He disown the move, and ordered the police to arrest anyone or group which parades itself as Fulani Vigilante.
The leadership of the Miyetti Allah group said the Fulani vigilantes in Ondo State are not affiliated in any way with them.
The position of Governor Akeredolu on this matter stands.
The government will not allow armed Fulani Vigilante in any part of Ondo State.”
