Yoruba activist, Sunday Adeyemo popularly known as Sunday Igboho, has asked President Muhammadu Buhari to warn killer herders in the Southwest region to vacate the region.
In a video cited by The Nation, Igboho vowed to storm the forests in a renewal of his activity of chasing killer herdsmen out of the Southwest region as from Monday.
“Buhari, Buhari, I’m calling you again I am sending a message to the Buhari government to warn killer herders in Southwest to vacate our lands.
“They are killing our brothers. As from Monday, we are going into forests to face killer herders face-to-face, all the lands in Yoruba land will be secured.
“All these killer herders are kidnapping our brothers and collecting ransom. Look at the way they are killing our people.
“All monarchs and kings in the southwest should rise up and speak up at this critical moment; you can see they are already kidnapping kings too.”
KanyiDaily recalls thet in January, Igboho had issued a seven-day ultimatum to Fulanis in Igangan to leave the area over alleged kidnapping and banditry.
Igboho had blamed herders and Fulanis, including the Seriki Fulani in Oyo, Saliu Kadri, of being behind the rising insecurity in the area.
The activist made good on his threat by evicting Fulani herdsmen in Igangan, Oyo State, before he stormed Ogun State to flush out ‘criminal herdsmen’ in the state.
