INSECURITY: ‘How herdsmen collaborate with NGOs to infiltrate South’

FRESH facts emerged, yesterday, of how some herdsmen and bandits are devising new methods to infiltrate the Southern part of the country.

Security sources informed Vanguard that buses loaded with Northern youths have been arriving in various parts of the south, especially South-West, mostly at night.

It was gathered that collaborators of suspected sponsors have established non-governmental organizations, NGOs, who engage in what they term ‘security surveillance jobs’.

The Ondo State Government Security outfit, codenamed Amotekun, evicted 42 Northern youths from Ondo State.

The youths, who were brought to the Okitipupa council area of the state in a trailer at about 10 pm, claimed they came for security training at the Army Barracks.

Vanguard learned that such groups of Fulani youths were in various parts of the state for unknown reasons.

A legal practitioner in the state, Mr. Wale Odusola, who raised the alarm, said: “The Fulani/Hausa that were arrested four days ago by Amotekun didn’t come that day, they have been coming in batches the day before that day.
