My family now lives in Ilorin- Igangan Seriki Fulani
The Seriki Fulani of Igangan, Oyo State, Saliu Abdulkadri, has disclosed that he is on a short visit to the North while his family members have settled temporarily in Ilorin, Kwara State.
Abdulkadri and his men moved out of Igangan in the Ibarapa North-West Local Council Development Area of Oyo State on Friday after the expiration of the seven day eviction notice given to killer herdsmen in the community by the Yoruba right activist, Chief Sunday Adeyemo, aka, Sunday Igboho.
Abdulkadri stated that he was received by his kinsmen in Ilorin.
Asked about efforts made to reconcile with the community, he said, “I have not been called for any meeting as we speak. If we are asked to return to Igangan, where are we going to live? My house and vehicles had been completely razed.
“But if given opportunity to return to the community, i would consider moving back to Igangan.
On the killing of Dr. Fatai Aborode, a prominent farmer and native of Igangan, he said, “On the day when Fatai was killed, the hoodlums held both the Yoruba and Fulani people hostage. They all witnessed as Fatai was pleading and reassuring them that he was ready to pay any amount as ransom. His killers were said to have refused to accept his money”.
