Ife Crisis: Afenifere accuses Police of sectional arrest of Yorubas

The Pan Yoruba Socio Political group, Afenifere has accused the leadership of the Nigerian Police of being sectional in its approach to the crisis that erupted in Ile Ife, Osun state, between the Yoruba and Hausa Fulani ethnic groups.

The group stated this at the end of its monthly meeting in Akure, Ondo state capital.

Reading the communique of the group after its meeting, the Publicity Secretary of Afenifere, Yinka Odumakin, also condemned the movement of the arrested Yoruba suspects to Abuja, without any fair hearing, while the incident happened in Osun state.

The group also called on the federal government to disarm fulani herdsmen carrying sophisticated guns and firearms with immediate effect.
