*Says Nomad Vigilante is  recipe for anarchy

By; BAYO AKAMO, Ibadan

The Yoruba Regional Alliance of Self Determination groups on Wednesday asked the Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore (Nomad Vigilante) to stay away from the South West Yoruba speaking states

Addressing a press conference at the Oyo State NUJ Press centre in Ibadan, through the Secretary of the group Architect Akinola George said the creation of the vigilante group by the Miyetti Allah ” is a recipe for anarchy”

According to the Yoruba Regional Alliance of Self Determination groups “Any ethnic group in Nigeria is free to train and deploy vigilantes to protect their lives and properties insofar as they keep such operatives within their recognized community borders, states or homelands, and do not constitute a threat to their neighbours”. 

” The federal government of Nigeria is hereby put on notice that this is a recipe for anarchy as we shall not accept it under any guise. The result, of course will be predictable anarchy”, it said.

The group added, ” If members of this nomadic vigilant group are deployed to any part of Yorubaland, be it Kogi, Kwara, Delta or Edo, or to any part of South-West, in Lagos, Ondo, Ogun, Osun, Oyo or Ekiti, they will be regarded as an alien, invading force, and will be treated as such.

” Anyone who is interested in the security of their livestock should buy a piece of land and build a ranch to quarantine their animals within a defined space, and organize their security within those boundaries”.

It stressed,”The federal government of Nigeria is hereby put on notice that this is a recipe for anarchy as we shall not accept it under any guise. The result, of course will be predictable anarchy.”

The group maintained ” All parts of Yorubaland are advised accordingly. Under no circumstances will they be welcome or accepted anywhere in Yorubaland. Whoever is toying with that thought of deploying them to Yorubaland should immediately perish the thought!

Condemning the Bodija explosions, the group said ” how did the supposed miners acquire such impunity and latitude to act above the law, which has resulted in such devastating consequences?

” Going back to the Ibadan explosion, and the unlikely explanation that licensed miners were stockpiling explosives needed for their work. What kind of mining requires you to use an incendiary device that could level a whole neighborhood? Why would such explosives be stored or kept in a residential area?
