YORUBA Nation agitator, Mr Sunday Adeyemo, also known as Sunday Igboho, yesterday, issued a fresh eviction notice warning all notorious herders who continue to kidnap and rob people in the South West zone to leave immediately.
The activist allegedly said this through his spokesperson, Olayomi Koiki in an audio message.
Though the veracity of the notice remains cloudy, the activist may have acted on the cries of his people from the Oke Ogun area of Oyo State who constantly experience all forms of vices from the herders.
An indigene of the affected places told Vanguard that the herders have renewed their hostilities by kidnapping, killing and preventing farmers from going to farm.
Recall that the activist had issued a similar eviction notice to Fulani herders during the tenure of President Muhammadu Buhari, who let loose the security agents to swoop on him which led to his detention in Benin Republic for about three years before he was granted bail by the court.
Some weeks ago, Igboho warned the armed herders to leave the zone suggesting that he would set up local security guards to prevent farmers from unnecessary intimidation.
In the audio message, Koiki, who spoke in Yoruba said: “On July 15, 2024, all Fulani people living in Oke Ogun, living inside the bushes there, who are kidnappers and 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 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 in their domains.”
As claimed in the audio, Igboho made it clear that he is not fighting any governor but he’s ready to show the herders troubling his people out of the zone.
He added that his men would comb all the forests presently occupied by herders across the Yoruba lands after getting permission from kings in Ondo, Ogun, Ekiti, and Osun states.
He said his men “are currently working on how to storm the forests in Oke Ogun land in Oyo State and warned all Fulani living there to vacate immediately,”
