Kayode OyeroResidents of Igangan in the Ibarapa Local Government Area of Oyo State have narrated how the now-ejected Seriki Fulani, Abdulkadri Saliu, used his son, Ibrahim Saliu, to free herdsmen arrested for various heinous crimes in the area. The President, Igangan Development Advocates, Wale Oladokun, disclosed this in a statement titled, ‘What actually happened between Sunday Igboho, Seriki Fulani and Ibarapa residents’. Oladokun said, “He (Seriki) would send his children, prominent among whom was Ibrahim Saliu, to serve as the mouthpiece for arrested vicious herders even for grievous offences that ought to be charged to court. “Once the Seriki Saliu or children stepped into any case involving the Fulani, no matter how grievous, the case was, it would be swept under the carpet as the scale of justice became tipped. “The youths of Ibarapa cried to Governor Seyi Makinde in a protest led by Igangan Development Advocates shortly after the murder of Dr. Fatai Aborode.
