OPC warns herdsmen against attack


OPC warns  herdsmen  against attack
Oodu’a Peoples’ Congress (OPC), a Yoruba socio-cultural group has warned herdsmen against continuous attacks on innocent people and communities, saying it would not tolerate killing of farmers in the Southwest.
The group cautioned the Federal Government against initiating the controversial grazing bill. It said it would  resist the move to promulgate a law that would give privilege to a section of the country.
Rising from a general meeting held yesterday in Gbagada, Lagos State,  OPC members described the controversial grazing bill as an “insult” to the people. Its National Publicity Secretary Shina
Akinpelu, said: “It is an insult to collective psyche of Nigerians to hear that a bill is being considered to allow or create grazing zones for the herdsmen. The OPC and the whole Yoruba nation reject such proposition and will resist it with all that we have.”
