Nigerian government on Monday warned against anarchy in the recent controversies involving the activities of herdsmen in Ondo and Oyo states.

Interior minister Rauf Aregbesola in a statement said all parties involved in the issues should exercise restraint and embrace peaceful dialogue.

He implored all citizens to exercise restraint and pursue active efforts on how to use the tools of constructive dialogue, good neighbourliness and the primacy of peace-building.

The minister, however, warns that “resentment that can only lead to anarchy and a mess of an already difficult situation.”
