A former President ex-aide, Reno Omokri, has condemned the order by the president Muhammadu Buhari to arrest Yoruba activist Sunday Igboho.
According to Reno, arresting Sunday Igboho is not the the solution but with immediate effect arrest the herdsmen responsible for the killing, kidnap, rape, and other crimes in Oyo state.
Reno Omokiri also condemned the claim of the National President of Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore, Bello Abdullahi Bodejo, that the Fulani own the lands in Nigeria.
Bodejo had said no power can remove herdsmen from any forest in any state.
Reacting, the former presidential aide warned the presidency against imposing a state of emergency on Oyo and Ondo States, following the quit order notice issued to Fulani herdsmen in the Southwest.

In a series of tweets, Reno Omokiri wrote: Arresting Sunday Igboho is not a solution. The solution is to arrest the herdsmen responsible for the killing, kidnap, rape, and other crimes in Oyo. Where government fails to punish crime, people will be forced to defend themselves. Self defence is a universal human right!
“Those that gave Igbos quit notices were invited to Kaduna Government House. I thought #Buhari said ‘I belong to everybody and belong to nobody’?
“If you must arrest, let it be equal. Arrest Igbo quit notice givers. Arrest Miyetti Allah President who said Nigeria belongs to herders.
“When Amotekun started, the #Buhari admin called it illegal. Yet, Kano has Hisbah and it is not illegal? When Kano destroyed Igbo people’s businesses on the accusation that they sold alcohol, @GarShehu kept mute.
When @RotimiAkeredolu chose to regulate herdsmen, he became a parrot.
“Herdsmen have been killing left, right, and centre in Kaduna, and General #Buhari never imposed a state of emergency there.
“If @MBuhari dares impose a state of emergency on Oyo or Ondo, then we will know that there is one law for Kaduna and Kano, and a different one for others!”
