The recent abduction of one of the foremost Yoruba
leaders and ex-Secretary to the Government of the
Federation, Chief Olu Falae, by suspected Fulani
herdsmen took a turn for the worse on Thursday as
prominent leaders threatened secession from the
entity called Nigeria.
Their grouse ranges from the abduction of Falae and
the wanton destruction of his farmland to the need
for a serious restructuring of Nigeria to reflect true
federalism.
“If we do not see any step in this direction within a
reasonable time, the Yoruba may reconsider their
place in a union that cannot protect them and would
not allow them to protect themselves and use all
legitimate and peaceful means to attain self-
determination,” part of the communiqué issued at
the end of the meetings said.
