The National Association of Nigeria Students (NANS), Ogun State chapter has called on the activist Sunday Adeyemo alias Sunday Igboho to review his strategy and speak with relevant stakeholders in the south-west in order to find lasting solutions to the activities of herdsmen accused of crimes.

The body said in a press conference in Abeokuta on Tuesday that the activist’s strategy, if not reviewed, could lead to war.

Sunday Igboho arrived in Ogun on Monday and visited Yewaland where soldiers allegedly connived with herders to attack farmers who refused cattle grazing on their farms.

Chairman of NANS/Ogun joint campus committee (JCC) Kehinde Simeon called on the state government to consider registration of all herdsmen within the borders of Ogun, ban open grazing and fast-track the inauguration of the Amotekun Corps in order to further combat insecurity.

“We understand Igboho, but it is our view that he should meet with Yoruba leaders, Afenifere and other stakeholders. This has become important so as not to set the entire south-west region on fire and cause anarchy,” Mr Kehinde said.

“We observe that Igboho’s strategy, if not reviewed, may lead to ethnic or tribal war. We, therefore, urge him to liaise with the appropriate authorities to avoid a major disaster.”
