James Ogunnaike – Abeokuta

The Yoruba right activist, Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho on Monday stormed Ogun State, insisting that killer-herdsmen must vacate Yorubaland.

Igboho, alongside his supporters, arrived at Abeokuta, the state capital, and immediately proceeded to some trouble areas in Yewaland in Ogun West Senatorial district.

His visit was in continuation of his campaign against the marauding herdsmen in the Southwest.

Igboho had recently displaced some Fulani herdsmen in Igangan, Oyo State, a development that had attracted knocks and kudos nationwide.

He said “We observed that there is an injustice from the herdsmen because they are closed to the federal government. Any Fulani herdsman who engages in kidnapping should be flushed out.

“Let us thank the governor of the state. His love for the people of Ogun state made him allowed him to visit the state. If not for his love for the people of Ogun state, he would not have allowed us to come to the state.”

Meanwhile,, the Ogun State government has refuted reports in a national daily and some social media platform insinuating that it had enlisted the help of Mr. Sunday Adeyemo, aka Sunday Igboho, to combat crimes in the state.

This was just as it reiterated its commitment to the security of all residents and properties in the state.

The government made its position known in a statement issued by the State Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Alhaji Abdulwaheed Odusile, in Abeokuta, the state capital.

Refuting the news report credited to Hon. Remmy Hazzan, the Special Adviser on Public Communication to Governor Dapo Abiodun, Odusile noted that his (Hazzan’s) virtual interview with a reporter…
