The Ekiti State governor, Ayodele Fayose, has warned armed herdsmen carrying out deadly attacks in across the country to desists or meet their waterloo in Ekiti State.
Fayose, while speaking at a function in Ibadan, Oyo State on Tuesday, said he has informed his people to poison water cattle belonging to the rampaging herdsmen.
The loquacious governor frowned at the several attacks by the cattle rearers, saying the gains of victory over Boko Haram were being eroded with the inaction of the Federal Government over activities of the herdsmen.
Fayose was at an event organised by the Oyo State chapter of the Nigeria Union of Journalists, NUJ, to celebrate the World Press Freedom Day in Ibadan.
“I have told my people in Ekiti; if the herdsmen graze on our farm and try to attack us, we will put Gamalin 20 (poison) in the water for their cattle to drink,” he said at the gathering.
He asked, “Who is giving them AK 47 rifles? Who is supporting the? We must be ready to defend ourselves.”
