War would ‘ve broken out if I was killed by my Fulani abductors - Falae

Former Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Chief Olu Falae has said that an outbreak of ethnic war would have ensued between the Fulani and the Yoruba  if he had been killed by his abductors. 

Speaking in Akure when  former Education Minister Mallam Ibrahim Shekarau paid him sympathy visit over the incident,he said: 

“God has a way of doing His things. I know God just decided to spare my life; God really saved my life; they tortured me; stripped me naked and did a lot of things to me in their den, they attempted to kill me but they did not succeed.

“I also thank God for making me to survive the ordeal because if they had killed me there, many lives would have been lost too. It (my death) would have become an ethnic war between the Yoruba and the Fulani. So, I thank God that the matter did not get to that level.”
