Miyetti Allah calls for removal of Sarkin Fulani in Oyo

Miyetti Allah in Oyo State has urged the state government and the Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi, to dethrone the Seriki Fulani of Oyo State, Chief Saliu Kadiri following allegations against him.

The group stated this on Wednesday while briefing newsmen at the end of a meeting organised to discuss issues affecting the Fulani community in Oyo State.

The group stated that the allegation against the Seriki is affecting the image of the Fulani community.

Kadiri was recently chased out of his Igangan home by aggrieved youths led by a Yoruba self-acclaimed activist, Sunday Igboho, following his alleged involvement in kidnapping and other crimes in the area. He however, described the allegation as false.

Miyetti Allah advised the Alaafin of Oyo and the government to replace Kadiri with a tested and trusted personality among the Fulani community.
