URHOBO UNITED YOUTH COUNCIL To ‘Killer Herdsmen’: Leave Urhobo Land Now Or Face Confrontation.
Urhobo United Youth Council , the umbrella youth body of Urhobo youths has asked herdsmen in Urhobo nation to leave Urhobo land or face consequences,
During a press conference in Ughelli , leaders of the group asked the national Assembly, State Assembly and the federal government to take decisive action now.
We are angry over the attack on Agadama community in Uwheru Kingdom and Olomu kingdom in Ughelli North & South respectively.
The Secretary , who read the statement on behalf of other leaders of the group, said the killings in our land would no longer be tolerated.
The leaders said the group demands the immediate exit of the “killer herdsmen” from Urhobo land, adding that refusal to leave would lead to a confrontation from the people.
We demand their immediate exit from Urhobo land. And if they refuse to leave in a reasonable time, we will not stop our people from confronting them.”
“We cannot continue to live under these conditions. The blood of our people will no longer be used to water the tree of peace in Nigeria . We demand an immediate timeline for a return to true federal system of government so that we can have the autonomy to run our internal affairs. Failure to do so will constrain our capacity to continue to restrain our people from embracing self-determination.
“It is now clear we Urhobos have had enough, as the President of the youths , Comr Odedede and other Urhobo patriots have warned. We sound it very loud and clearly that corporate Urhobo have never questioned the continued existence of Nigeria and we hope not to do that except otherwise forced to .”
