Sunday Igboho in Ogun, vows to flush out killer herdsmen

Yoruba rights activist, Sunday Igboho on Monday declared war on killer herdsmen as he stormed Ogun.

Igboho spoke in Abeokuta, where he had a stopover and interacted with his supporters.

He later proceeded to Ketuland where some soldiers allegedly connived with herdsmen to flog farmers for not permitting them to graze their cattle in Yewa-North Local Government Area.

In Abeokuta, Igboho said, “I observe there is injustice from the herdsmen because they know the power that they have in the Federal Government.

“They behave as if Yoruba people are nobody. They kill our people; they kidnap our people and rape our women.

“Any herdsman who engages in kidnapping would be flushed out.”

He said he would not limit his activism to Igangan, Oyo State, where he became popular for helping to stop assaults on innocent people by killer herders.

“Not only Igangan; we are going to visit all Yorubaland and ensure there is peace everywhere,” he said.

The activist lauded Ogun State Governor Dapo Abiodun for allowing him in the state.

Remmy Hazzan, Special Adviser on Public Communications to Governor Abiodun, had said Igboho was free to come to the state for consultation.

Appreciating the gesture, the activist said, “We have not visited the governor; we will do that after we have flushed the killer Fulani herdsmen out of the state.

“I am going to Yewa because that is where the Fulani are wreaking havoc.”
