The Elerepamo of Pamo, Oba Ayobami Ogunmakinde, in Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State, has backed the alarm raised by the pan-Yoruba socio-political organisation, Afenifere, over incessant attacks and kidnappings targeting farmers in the South-West.

The monarch made this known while speaking with PUNCH Online in Ibadan, the state capital, on Sunday.

Ogunmakinde called for proactive measures to curb attacks in parts of the region, particularly in remote communities in Oyo State.

PUNCH Online reports that Afenifere, in a statement issued by its National Publicity Secretary, Jare Ajayi, in Ibadan on Friday, raised concerns over attacks on farmlands and the kidnapping of residents in various parts of Yorubaland and elsewhere in Nigeria.
