The Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi, has expressed sadness at the way the police treat some cases involving some suspected criminals who are Fulani in the state.
Oluwo of Iwo, Oba Abduraheed Akanbi paid a visit to the Alaafin in his palace where the two deliberated on some issues affecting the people of the state and the fulani herdsmen.
Oba Adeyemi said, “Nigeria is under a weak system. The system is no more working. Nigeria’s system of government is failing most especially on security. Security should not be under an exclusive legislative list.
“I’ve attended several fora where security issues were discussed and (where I) challenged our state governors. Security-wise, they are toothless. If the Inspector-General of Police orders for the release of a suspect, no state governor can reverse such order.
“We have put machinery in place and arrested many kidnappers who are Fulanis. We handed them to the police but many of them were later released. This calls for sober reflection.”
