Sunday Adeyemo, also known as Sunday Igboho, has issued a fresh eviction notice to armed herders who kidnap and rob people in the South West zone.
The activist’s spokesperson, Olayomi Koiki, warned the herders to leave immediately in an audio message recorded in Yoruba.
Koiki said: “On July 15, 2024, all the 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 armed herdsmen 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 armed herdsmen in their domains.
It was stated in the audio that Igboho has 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.
He said his men “are currently working on how to storm the forests in Oke Ogun land in Oyo and warned all armed herdsmen living there to vacate immediately.”
The notice comes after eople from the Oke Ogun area of Oyo cried out that they have been experiencing kidnapping, killing, and prevention from farming due to the herders’ activities.
This is not the first time Sunday Igboho has issued such a notice.
He previously issued a similar eviction notice to Fulani herders during President Muhammadu Buhari’s tenure, which led to his detention in Benin Republic.
