According to him, people must learn to take responsibilities for their actions.
He said:
“All of us must guide what we say. If we continue to drum the beats of war – If we are talking of war, we don’t know where war will start and we don’t know where it will end. Some of them have not seen it before. Some of us have seen it before. If you think that when it happens you have where to run to. It may not be so.
Meanwhile, Legit.ng had reported that the presidency reacted to the order by the Oyo state government to the police to arrest Sunday Adeyemo (fondly known as Igboho).
Igboho, famed for participating actively in the Modakeke-Ife war, recently gave a quit notice to herdsmen occupying the Ibarapa area of the state.
After several warnings by the Governor Seyi Makinde-led government, an arrest warrant was issued for the warlord and his followers.
Earlier, Igboho dared the government of Oyo state to arrest him following his "leave" order to Fulani herders in Igangan community.
Igboho on Friday, January 22, stormed the town in Ibarapa East local government area of Oyo state after the expiration of his seven-day ultimatum to the Fulani herders mandating them to vacate the community.
Legit.ng recalled that the secessionist had a week ago visited the community to issue quit notice to herdsmen resident in the area after accusing them of perpetrating criminal activities.
He was reportedly said to have insisted that Seriki, a popular herder, must leave the town, saying so many people fingered him to be behind the insecurity in the area.
