The National Association of Nigeria Students (NANS), Ogun State chapter, has warned Yoruba activist, Sunday Adeyemo, aka Sunday Igboho, against causing civil unrest in the south-west with his approach in tackling security issues.
The students urged the activist to review his strategy and explore dialogue and consultation with relevant stakeholders in the region in order to find a lasting solution to the disturbances.
NANS made the call while addressing newsmen in Abeokuta, Ogun State on Tuesday, saying that the call was vital in order to avoid anarchy in the country.
Kehinde Damilola Simeon, the Chairman of NANS/Ogun Joint Campus Committee (JCC), also called on the Ogun Government to consider registration of all herdsmen within the borders of the state.

Kehinde said, “We understand Igboho, but it is our view that he should meet with Yoruba leaders, Afenifere and other stakeholders. This has become important so as not to set the entire South-West region on fire and cause anarchy,” the students said.
“We observe that Igboho’s strategy, if not reviewed, may lead to ethnic or tribal war. We, therefore, urge him to liaise with the appropriate authorities to avoid a major disaster,” he said.
“Therefore, the government must come to the rescue of the schools by releasing more funds for them to enable them to run adequately.
“Furthermore, we expect that the state government will expedite the process of Bursary payment to indigenous students. Also, as a matter of urgency review the details collection procedures being implemented,” he said.
The Governor of Ogun State, Dapo Abiodun had earlier said it did not seek the help of Igboho to tackle the problem of insecurity in the state.
