Governor Seyi Makinde says the state will not accept issuance of ultimatums for any group of persons to leave Oyo, as it is against the constitution that guarantees freedom of movement.
He said the enemies of the state are not herdsmen, but bandits and kidnappers.
Makinde issue the warning in a broadcast on Wednesday.
He said his government will not tolerate any assault on residents of the state under any guise.
Oyo state has witnessed pockets of violence in some areas, following clashes between farmers and herders in recent times.
“Let me state that we shall not sit back and watch anyone make any law-abiding resident of Oyo state feel unsafe in their homes, farms, or business places. We are aware of some people circulating flyers and giving people ultimatums to leave their land. This is totally unacceptable and will not be condoned,” he said.
