Ondo State Governor, Rotimi Akeredolu, has on Tuesday blamed foreign herders for many criminal activities in the State Forest serves.
Akeredolu spoke during a courtesy visit to his office by the Zonal Coordinator Zone ‘F’ of the Nigeria Immigration Service, NIS, comprising Oyo, Ondo, Osun and Ekiti States, Dora E Amahian
He said: ”We all know what this service is established to do. It’s clear to us . The number of people who come into Nigeria through the land border is becoming alarming.
“knowing your efforts to secure our borders, we are worried about some foreigners that come in and are almost permanent in our forest reserve. I know a number of criminal activities that are being perpetrated in our reserves that are done by foreigners.
“Yes! Foreigners. They might be Fulanis but they are not Nigerians. I think there must be collaborations. Collaborations with other security agencies. That way you can function well and achieve more result. Collaborate with security agency like Amotekun.
“Peace is very important to us, not only in the Southwest or Ondo State but peace in the country. All over the country we are being ravaged by Foreigners.”
