True to his ultimatum, fearless Sunday Adeyemo Igboho after the seven days ultimatum stormed Igangan Town in Ibarapa area of Oyo State with thousands of supporters unhindered by any security rolled out by Governor Seyi Makinde who ordered his arrest few days ago.
Residents told our correspondent that Igboho came to the town and was received by thousands of youths at the Igangan Town Hall.
While addressing the youths and other supporters, he said, ” What is happening will not be limited to this place, we will drive out Fulani from entire Yorubaland. They want to be killing us. We will not accept this.”
One of the residents, Tajudeen Oke, told our correspondent that Igboho insisted that Seriki must leave the town.
This, according to Igboho, is because so many people fingered him (Seriki) to be behind the insecurity in the area.
Before his arrival, some youths were said to have made bonfires on the streets.
There was palpable tension in Igangan and other parts of the Ibarapa area of Oyo State on Friday morning as the quit notice given to herdsmen in the area expires today.
Frustrated by the incessant killings, kidnappings, and destruction of farms allegedly being carried out by herdsmen in Ibarapaland, Igboho last Friday stormed the Fulani settlements in in Igangan, Ibarapa North Local Government Area and asked them to leave within seven days.
Igboho accused the Fulani community in the area of masterminding abductions, killings, and other criminal activities in the area.
Meanwhile, the Oyo State Police Command had warned residents of the state against engaging in any act of lawlessness and violence in any part of the state.
The new Commissioner of Police in the state, Ngozi Onadeko, gave this warning in a statement issued on Thursday by the Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Mr Olugbenga Fadeyi.
The police said four persons were injured when Igboho visited the place and the Fulani also allegedly waylaid farmers returning from their farms the same Friday night and hacked four of them.
Governor Seyi Makinde had on Wednesday in a state broadcast condemned the threat to evict the Fulani, while warning those behind the threat to desist or be ready to face the wrath of the law.
Now that political space in Nigeria is open and gaining momentum towards the Anambra State governorship election in 2021, Osun State in 2022 and the general elections in 2023, anyone who intends to be a participant in these elections need to start with a bold step now in order to finish well in victory.
