Senior Advocates of Nigeria, Chief Mike Ozekhome and Festus Keyamo, have said it will be wrong to use brute force to exit the Fulani herdsmen from Ondo State.
“I believed it should have been done through a court order; not through brute force,” Ozekhome said.
“Though there are criminal issues regarding some herdsmen in the country,” Keyamo stated.
Adding: “Most Nigerians do not know that their so-called ethnic ‘leaders’ are deliberately putting an ethnic spin to these issues.”
