Following the continuous threat to attack Igangan communities by Wakili, a Fulani herdsmen over the eviction of herders last week by Yoruba activist, Sunday Igboho, a dusk-to-dawn curfew has been imposed on Igangan.

He urged the Governor to personally visit the affected communities to see things for himself, especially the havocs unleashed on residents by criminal herdsmen.
He said: “Igangan is going smoothly, things are fine. The town imposed a curfew of 9 pm to 5 am just to secure lives and property.
“It was the joint decision of the monarch, his chiefs, council of elders and all the bodies and associations in Igangan.
“It was a consensus and everyone and anything from 9 pm, there would be a patrol. This is to prevent reprisal attacks.
“The Operation Burst has been deployed to resume patrol including the local vigilante group whom I know would not also go to sleep.”
Emphasising people of Igangan are not against Fulanis in their midst, he explained: “As we speak, if you get to a particular we call Ile Bamogba in Igangan, presently as we speak, you will find Fulanis there. They are living peacefully, going about their daily chores, unthreatened.
“If you get to AUD in Igangan, right now, you will find Fulanis there living peacefully in their houses, coexisting peacefully with our people and they are unthreatened.
