Olaifa in a release he personally signed reported “I am sad to formally bring to the public notice of an unacceptable renewed onslaught of Fulani Herdsmen on my Constituents of Egbado North/Imeko Afon Federal Constituency in Ogun State. While my people like others globally are grappling with the troubling effects of COVID – 19 pandemic, no fewer than three cases of attacks were recorded on the Abeokuta – Olorunda – Aiyetoro/Imeko Road in the last 4days”. The Federal House of Reps member alleged that the attacks were from Fulani herdsmen.

He concluded that “My last line goes to the State Government under the leadership of His Excellency, Prince Dapo Abiodun, that one is not oblivious of his tireless efforts but it is just a statement of fact that a lot are still calling for his attention in Egbado North/Imeko Afon Federal Constituency, particularly in the areas of Security and Road rehabilitation as these armed robbers and kidnappers mostly take advantage of the near impassable roads to attack our helpless people”.
