HERDSMEN: Oyo Deputy Speaker Wants Ajimobi To Empower Vigilante Groups
">

The Oyo House of Assembly has called on Governor Abiola Ajimobi to equip and empower vigilante groups across the state, especially in rural areas, to be able to tackle threats posed by herdsmen to farmers.

Specifically, the Assembly urged Ajimobi to consider giving vigilante groups salary and mandate the Chairmen of local government areas and local council development areas to recruit more vigilante members.

The Assembly’s call was drawn from the prayers of deputy Speaker, Honourable Abdulwasi Musah, in a matter of urgent public importance entitled, “Gruesome Murder of a SARS Officer in Saki by suspected Fulani Herdsmen and Need for all hands to be on deck”, on Tuesday’s plenary.

He argued that those vigilante groups were more rooted in rural communities and would be able to effectively protect farmers and rural dwellers who had become vulnerable to incessant herdsmen attacks.

Nigerian Tribune‎ quoted Musah as pointing out that empowering vigilante groups was not undermining the capabilities of the conventional security agencies like the army, police force, DSS and Civil Defence, but vesting them with powers to be more involved in arresting herdsmen attacks and similar crimes in rural areas.

The Assembly noted recent instances of herdsmen attacks such as the killing of a senior officer of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad, ASP Sheu Magu, reported the killing of a farmer in Iseyin, among others in the Oke-Oke Ogun area of the state, as evidence that the issue required urgent attention.

The Honourable Michael Adeyemo led Assembly further urged the state Commissioner of Police, Abiodun Odude, to ensure that his men were always on red alert at communities around farm settlements and rural local councils.
