Again, Mimiko raises alarm over incessant Fulani herdsmen attacks

Governor Olusegun Mimiko

Ondo State Governor Olusegun Mimiko has raised the alarm over the incessant killings and wanton destruction of property by Fulani herdsmen in various parts of the country.

Speaking with the executive members of the state chapter of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) that visited him, Mimiko urged religious leaders to pray more for peace in the country.

The governor said if the heinous crime against humanity being committed by the Fulani herdsmen was not checked, Nigeria would be moving towards a precipice. According to him, religious leaders must pray fervently for the unity, peace and development of the country, which he said is confronted with challenges.

He debunked the claim by the Independent Corrupt Practices and other related Offences Commission (ICPC) that his administration diverted the bail out fund meant for workers’ salaries.

Mimiko told the religious leaders that the state has been written to the ICPC to correct the claim.
He faulted the report that only N7.9billion was paid to workers out of the N9.4 billion bailout paid to the state, saying his administration added N50million to the bailout to pay the workers’.
