Insecurity: Oluwo Opens Up On How To Tame Fulanis

Paramount ruler of Iwoland, Oba Abdulrosheed Adewale Akanbi, Telu has opened up on the way to end insecurity in Nigeria.
This is even as he has written an open Letter to President Tinubu.
In the said Letter, the Oba who regretted how insecurity is spreading like wild fire in Nigeria advised Me President to invest in education where Fulani herders would be going to school adding that such would reduce their attack on innocent Nigerians.
Oluwo also appealed to the Tinubu-led administration to invest in ranching for the herdsmen to keep their cattle, pointing out that the nomadic system is injurious to them and the entire nation.
Oba Akanbi made this known in an open letter written to Tinubu on Thursday while expressing dissatisfaction with the spate of kidnappings and killings perpetrated by killer Fulani herdsmen in the South-West region and other parts of the country.
According to the monarch ,most of the insecurity challenges faced by the country are carried out by Fulani herdsmen who want to survive revealing that there are also good Fulani herders.

The first class Monarch further urged security agencies to deploy digital equipment to tackle insecurity in the country.

“Arresting those children from the bush to the four walls of classrooms requires the promotion of ranching. Understanding is key while education is the door to peace,” the letter read.
“I want to appeal to your excellency to assent a legislation that will compel education for children and enact strict punishment for parents refusing to educate their children.

“Priority can be placed on the Fulanis with preferential monitoring of nomadic settlements. This option will secure their future to be engineers, pilots, doctors, professors, kings, bankers, ambassadors etc and not kidnappers. My domain is the highest host of the Fulanis in Osun State. Before the escalation of the kidnapping menace, I visited the Fulanis in my domain mandating formal education and threatened to arrest parents of teen children rearing cattle during school hours.”
Oba Akanbi further said, “Our security should go digital. If not now, who else is our Messiah? Nigeria’s security should be strengthened. The boost can optionally be assured through mandatory and timely provision of electronic national identity cards for everyone on Nigerian soil such that the security forces can accost and demand identification anywhere, anytime. With a digital ID card, the security can track suspicious members of society.

“Your Excellency, I want to appeal for a quick response to enact a law in collaboration with the national assembly for quick trial and execution of culpable kidnappers. There is no justifiable excuse for injustice. Injustice is only justified when a matching penalty
“In conclusion, let me admonish Nigerians. Nigeria’s security architecture cannot be strengthened in isolation. Nigerians must volunteer to support the service chiefs and other security agencies in intelligence gatherings. Community policing should be encouraged,” the letter reads in part.
