Ondo state farmers have given the government of President Muhammadu Buhari, a seven-day ultimatum to secure the release of former presidential aspirant- Chief Olu Falae.
Falae was abducted last Monday, in Akure, by suspected Fulani herdsmen.
Chairman of the Farmers Association, Akin Olotu, conveyed the ultimatum to journalists on Thursday, in Akure.
The farmers said if the government does not get Falae released as soon as possible- they would react and the country would feel the impact of their reaction.
“What we are saying is that the abduction of Chief Falae is unacceptable to we farmers in Ondo state and Southwest.”
“We therefore give seven-day ultimatum to the federal government to secure the release of Chief Falae, if he is not released within the next seven days, the farmers in Ondo State will take action that will have a national impact. We should not forget the Agbekoya war in the old Oyo State.
“The herdsmen are now turning to armed robbers, they rape, and kidnap, they are now seriously threatening the lives of the people of our communities in this state and if you report to the police, nothing will be done. Now they have kidnapped one of our elders. We will not take this any longer.”
