Sunday Igboho: Why Is Oyo Warrior Trending On Social Media? (Video)

Chief Sunday Adeniyi Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, a Nigerian human rights activist and warrior on Friday stormed Igangan, in Ibarapa North local government area of Oyo State to further stiffen his stance that Fulanis in the region should leave.

Sunday Igboho had not long ago - like Rotimi Akeredolu, the governor of Ondo State - issued a quit notice to Fulani and Bororo people residing in Ibarapa specifically, saying they are most times responsible for kidnappings and killings in that zone.

Governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde had in a statewide broadcast on Wednesday cautioned Sunday Igboho over the ultimatum given to Fulanis to leave the state, saying "the fragile peace between the herdsmen and farmers in Oke Ogun is being threatened".

The Fulani are a widely dispersed group of mainly Muslim cattle herders scattered across West Africa.

It would be recalled that in December 2020, a chieftain of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Oyo State, Dr. Fatai Aborode was brutally murdered by suspected herdsmen in his farm along Apodun road, Igangan.

Incessant security concerns in the South-West region caused governors to launch the Western Nigeria Security Network codenamed Operation Amotekun in 2019.

The operatives of the security outfit are expected to assist police, other security agencies and traditional rulers in combating terrorism, banditry, armed robbery, kidnapping and also help in settling herdsmen and farmers contentions in the South-West region.

Sunday Igboho has been active in combatting insecurity in southwest Nigeria.

In October 2020, he joined forces in Kisi, against bandits in Oke-Ogun.
