Critic, Femi Fani-Kayode has reacted to the  burning of a house belonging to Yoruba activist, Sunday Igboho at night, saying the arsonists are cowards.

Igboho’s property in Soka, Ibadan was gutted by fire at about 3am Tuesday.

He said he moved out of the property about a year ago to a new property also in Soka.

Igboho, real name Sunday Adeyemo, zoomed to national attention after he gave a quit notice to Fulani herdsmen in Igangan, Ibarapa.

The notice followed a series of kidnapping and killing linked to the herdsmen.
