Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti has charged local hunters in the state to protect the people against killer herdsmen.<\/p>\n
According to a tweet from his official Twitter handle, the governor met the hunters on Wednesday, January 10, over alleged report that some herdsmen were planning to attack the state.<\/p>\n
Fayose who was dressed in full military camouflage during the meeting with the hunters called on President Muhammadu Buhari to take serious action against the herdsmen.<\/p>\n
Fayose said: \u201cMr. President, declare herdsmen as terrorists group now, they are mindless and devilish.\u201d Governor Fayose met local hunters in Ekiti over herdsmen killings.<\/p>\n
The governor sympathised with the people of Benue and said they were safe in Ekiti \u201cThis (uniform dressing) is done to charge our hunters to secure the state. I saw pictures of the killings and I wondered if those were human beings. I asked the questions if people could be that picked to kill human beings that way. They will find no peace. It is no tribal killings but that of mindless people. Blood of departed will find those people and they won\u2019t know peace. It is the duty of FG to protect its people. We are not protected.<\/p>\n

The Federal Government should have sent the army not a police. \u201cGovernor Ortom should fasten his belt and protect his people. Those seeking for help in Abuja would not find because Abuja also needs help. I sympathise with you, this is your home and nobody would kill you. You are all saved here.”<\/p>\n
Fayose called on the local hunters to be vigilante and defend the people of the state.<\/p>\n
He said: \u201cI have received letters that the Bororos have entered our reserves they want to violate our laws. I want to call on the attention of the FG that they have come and wanted to kill men and kids and women in Ekiti. We will not allow that to happen. I want you all he hunters to go back today to protect your people, be vigilant, open your eyes, make sure everyone entering our state is screened. Fayose said he would not go to Abuja to seek for help over herdsmen attacks.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo one in the guise of grazing should enter our land after 8pm. For our brothers who harbour criminals , tell them Ekiti is a no go area. If your plan is to make this state ungovernable you are wasting your time. I have called this meeting for everyone to be vigilant. I will begin to support you now to secure Ekiti. Don\u2019t let them take you by surprise. Don\u2019t allow them to take Ekiti by storm. Go to the farms and keep vigil. Don\u2019t just entertain visitors that come in the night, screen them. We don\u2019t want visitors in our games at 8pm.<\/p>\n
Fayose called on the local hunters to be vigilante.<\/p>\n
