Igboho Can’t Evict Anyone from South-West, Say Afenifere and Hunters.
Yoruba Nation agitator Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, has issued a fresh eviction notice to armed Fulani herders in the South-West due to ongoing banditry and kidnappings. This marks the second time Igboho has called for the removal of these groups from the region, particularly targeting those accused of violent crimes like kidnapping, rape, and murder.
In 2021, Igboho’s initial eviction notice led to a tense confrontation with the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari, resulting in a raid on Igboho’s residence and the tragic death of some of his aides. Igboho himself narrowly escaped, later being detained in the Niger Republic before his release, thanks to the intervention of prominent Yoruba leaders.
The recent resurgence in herder-related violence prompted Igboho to issue a new warning, emphasizing that all Fulani people involved in criminal activities must leave the Oke Ogun area immediately. The Pan-Yoruba socio-political group, Afenifere, has expressed support for Igboho’s actions. Their National Organising Secretary, Abagun Kole Omololu, commended Igboho for his bold stance, noting that his efforts have the backing of local kings and chiefs. Afenifere asserts that the forests should be reserved for wildlife and that anyone engaging in criminal activities under the guise of herding should be treated as a threat to public safety. The group stands firmly behind Igboho’s mission to protect farmers and the local community from harm.
