The statement reads; “It is saddened that the Fulani people who are suppose to be living peacefully with bus are now killing our people. We woke up on Monday June 1 to hear the mass killing at the village of one of our fathers and a former governor of Oyo state, Chief Kolapo Ishola. Many of his kingsmen were killed.
“This is unacceptable. Henceforth, we have decided to begin to hunt for the people behind the killing and ensure they are brought to book, if government is helpless. We cannot open our eyes and see our people being killed. We have suffered enough. They destroyed our farmland, take our lands and even killed our people without rescue from police or even government. Enough is enough,” the statement said.
