Yoruba socio-cultural group, Afenifere has asked herdsmen in the south-west to leave the region or face consequences.

During a press conference in Lagos, leaders of the group asked the National Assembly not to amend the land use act with a view to grant powers to the federal government to take over state lands for the purpose of Ruga.

An elder statesman, Ayo Adebanjo, who read the statement on behalf of other leaders of the group, said the killings in the region would no longer be tolerated, adding that refusal to leave will lead to a confrontation from the people.
