Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, has expressed his resolve to confront and expel killer herdsmen from Yorubaland.
In a widely circulated video during his mother’s funeral in Igboho, Oyo State, on Tuesday, Igboho who communicated in Yoruba, criticized the Federal Government and military presence in the region for failing to protect Ekiti State, where traditional rulers were tragically killed in broad daylight
Igboho emphasized the need for intervention in the face of government and military inadequacies in addressing the threat posed by killer herdsmen.
He said, “I want you all to stand with me so that we can liberate ourselves from the herders encroaching on our lands. Let us mount security in all the Yoruba lands ourselves, if not, they will take our lands.
“We don’t have to wait for the government or anyone. Let’s just work in unison. We cannot farm on our lands because of these herders. And our people are going hungry and angry. We don’t need the soldiers the government claims to have deployed to Ekiti State. We work in accordance with our elders and mount the places ourselves.
“It was my mother that was my fear before but now she’s gone, I have nothing to be scared of again. I am now back to take back our land.
“I am not working for any politician. In fact, if I incidentally slapped someone, the government would be ready to arrest me and put me behind bars. I know they are watching me closely now to know my next action but I’m ready to take a step to stop these marauders’ activities in our lands.”
