Shina Peller, Member, Federal House of Representatives has cried out about the killings in his constituency.

He said; “On December 23, 2020, one Mrs. Adeleke, a widow, narrowly escaped death from a gun shot in the evening.”

“On December 24, 2020, a pastor, Mr Gbola, was shot dead in the early hours of the day at Abaoloko, Iganna-Ilero Road by suspected herdsmen. Same day, one fulani man named Ibrahim was killed while another man was also reportedly killed at Iwere-Ile.”

“On January 1, 2021, one Mr Kola, a petrol station manager, was shot around 7am along Elekokan-Iganna via Ofeegun.”

“On the same day, one vulcanizer was also shot near Ofeegun. They were both seriously injured and currently receiving treatment.”

“In attendance were the Shabiganna of Iganna, Oba Azeez Oyemonla Soliu; representatives of the Department of State Security (DSS), Nigeria Police Force, Western Nigeria Security Network (Amotekun), Vigilante Group of Nigeria (VGN), local hunters and Fulanis in the vicinity.”

“We were made to understand that the Fulani herdsmen that carry out this act of criminality are not those that live within the community but outsiders who gain entrance through the forest.”

“At the meeting, we had reached so many resolutions, one of which is the need for data collection exercise for all the Fulanis residing in the community for proper identification. To aid this documentation, I volunteered to provide computers to the police who will oversee the exercise.”
