DCP vs Orhionmwon Chairman, Who will Herdsmen Obey?

 

There is a ‘confusion of obedience’ going on at Orhionmwon Local Government, in Edo state on who herdsmen in the area must obey.

 

Some days ago, the Chairman of Orhionmwon Local Government, Hon. Sylvester Okoro, sent a vacation notice to the Fulani Herdsmen in the area.



To make his fact clear, he called a meeting which involved the the Edo State Commissioner of police presided over by Deputy Commissioner of Police, Ayodeji Faniyan, saying that the council cannot be intimidated into submitting the lives of Orhionmwon residents on the altar of patronage as he officially sworn to protect the lives and properties of the people.

 

The council boss while acknowledging pleas from the Chambers of Bar. Olayiwola Afolabi on the need to be cooperative in ensuring a holistic documentation of genuine herders, lamented the role of the police to put the cat before the horse.

 

But DCP Ayodeji Faniyan countered him saying that not even the state governor can order the vacation of herdsmen from a locality let alone a Council Chairman – a statement which the Chairman has seen as bias in favour of over 15 mobilized leaders of the Fulani herdsmen who hitherto never honoured any invitation to security meetings at the council.



“The position of the council is unambiguous. We have given the Fulani herdsmen 2 weeks to vacate the local government to enable us carry out a proper documentation of the genuine herdsmen. They approached us for a one week extension which has elapsed,” Hon. Sylvester Okoro, exclaimed.

 

He maintained that the recalcitrance of leaders of the herdsmen and the open rejection by community leaders in Orhionmwon is a match towards anarchy which the police is expected to prevent and not act otherwise. He promised further actions towards making sure that the steps taken by the council is implemented to the letter, including involvement of the state government.
