Yoruba Nation agitator, Sunday Adeyemo, more commonly known as Sunday Igboho has issued a fresh warning to all Fulani herders suspected to be involved in several killings and abductions of residents in Oyo State.
The notice was announced by his spokesperson, Oluyomi Koiki in an audio message made available to SaharaReporters on Monday evening.
According to Koiki, Igboho has arranged his men to storm some forests in Oke-Ogun areas of Oyo State and flush out all Fulani herders living there.
The Yoruba rights activist mentioned that the herders were allegedly involved in contestant abductions and killings of Oke-Ogun residents.
Speaking in Yoruba, Koiki said, “Today is the 15th of July, 2024. This breaking news is issued around 6pm. All Fulani people living in Oke Ogun, living inside the bushes there, who are kidnappers, that are killing the people, are immediately ordered to leave now. Sunday Igboho said he would continue his work at Oke-Ogun, in Kishi and all communities that made up of Oke-Ogun. He said he would touch all those places remaining.
“All Fulanis should leave the bush in Oke-Ogun. The forest does not belong to you. The land belongs to us. He added that he is also waiting for the Obas in other parts of Yoruba land to speak up if they are witnessing attacks from Fulani people.
“He said he was ready to chase them away. He promises to flush all those miscreants preventing Yoruba from accessing their farms. He said he is not fighting with any governor, but he said his men would storm all the forests presently occupied by herders across the Yoruba lands but he is waiting for permission from other Obas in Ondo, Ogun, Ekiti, and Osun states.”
“He said his men are currently working on how to storm the forest in Oke Ogun land in Oyo State and warn all Fulani living there to vacate immediately,” Koiki added.
