MONARCH THREATENS TO LEAD PROTEST TO GOVERNOR OVER ALLEGED SECURITY AGENTS HARASSMENT OF FARMERS

The royal father pointed out that, ‘despite our explanations to the newly constituted Joint Task Force to understand that the farmers are Nigerians but living in border town proved abortive. I wondered why thousands of Cattles coming from Mali, Niger and Burkina Faso passing through Iwoye-Ketu everyday without any inhibitions from the Joint Security task force’..

Penpushing further reports that, the traditional ruler emphasized, ’If I may ask, who is more Nigerian between us and those who are bringing cattle to Nigeria from neighbouring countries? I strongly condemned in total entirety, the harassment of farmers from Iwoye Ketu by the Security agencies’.

‘ I appeal to the National Security Adviser to the President to quickly  come to our aid, so that our farmers will be freed from bondage. Failure to allow our farmers to have free access to take their farm produce to the market,  I will lead a strong protest to the governor’s office and register our grievances’ Alaye emphasised .
