Minister of Justice and Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF), Abubakar Malami, has invited the evicted Sarkin Fulani of Igangan, Ibarapa North Local Government Area of the state, Alhaji Salihu Abdulkadir, to Abuja.
This follows Sunday's attack on the people of Igangan in Oyo state by people suspected to be Fulani herdsmen which claimed many lives in the community,
The invitation is coming on the heels of a petition by an international human rights organisation to the Minister.
It would be recalled that the Sunday violence, which lasted between 11.p.m and 3a.m, was allegedly carried out by suspected herdsmen.
About 18 persons were reportedly killed, houses burnt while the monarch’s residence was also not spared during the attack.
Yoruba activist, Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, had early this year sent the Sarkin Fulani and his people packing from their Igangan base following allegations of kidnapping and other crimes.
Abdulkadir’s house was also burnt with properties worth millions of naira destroyed during an attack on his domain in Igangan.
However, the Sarki had insisted that he was innocent of all the allegations leveled against him arguing that he had rather assisted the police to apprehend kidnappers in the community.
He also accused indigenes of the community of being the masterminds in connivance with some politicians.
