Mimiko Raises Alarm Over Fulani Herdsmen Attack

Governor Olusegun Mimiko of Ondo State Thursday raised fresh alarm over the incessant killings of innocent Nigerians and wanton destructions of properties by Fulani herdsmen in various parts of the country.

He also, even charged religious leaders to pray more for the country in order to avert bloodshed.

The Governor while addressing members of the State’ executive of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), during a courtesy visit to him in his office warned that, if the heinous crime against humanity being committed by the Fulani herdsmen was not checked, Nigeria would be moving towards a precipice.

He noted that religious leaders must as a matter of urgency and national importance rally round and pray fervently for the unity, peace development of the country, which at the moment is confronted with challenges.

Mimiko appreciated the religious leaders and the people of the state for their prayers before his assumption of office and in the last seven years of his administration, promising to further collaborate with the Christian body for the sustenance of peace and progress of the state.
