Breaking: Sunday Igboho’s house razed in Ibadan

Sunday Igboho: His house was razed on Tuesday morning

One of the houses of Yoruba rights activist, Chief Sunday Adeyemo a.k.a Sunday Igboho in Soka, Ibadan was
razed by suspected arsonists.

The fire, which reportedly started around 3 am on Tuesday, destroyed some parts of the house.

However, firefighters from the Oyo State Fire Service arrived on the scene a few hours after to douse the fire.

No statement has been obtained from Igboho on the incident.

The incident happened few days after Igboho asked herdsmen in the Ibarapa Local Government Area of Oyo State to leave within seven days.

At the expiration of the ultimatum last week, he and his followers stormed the Fulani settlement in the ancient town to eject the Seriki Fulani, Salihu Abdukadir.

They also chased out herdsmen accused of perpetrating crimes ranging from kidnappings, killings, rape to invasion of farmlands with their cattle.

Some houses and property in the settlement of the Fulanis were set ablaze but Igboho denied responsibility, saying residents of the town were responsible for the destruction.

Tony, Sam said ‘ my feeling’. So read carefully before just saying things. Am a Yoruba man, no fulani person can do this right in IBADAN.
Definitely some people are bent to cause more mayhem. They will want Igboho to declare war, but they are foolish. Most activists in Nigeria, there families are not in the country. Ask the likes of Sowore whose family are in US, and even Igboho., whose family are in Germany.
i dont support the fulani herdsmen, but people should be wise in whatever they do.

My strong feeling is that Yoruba did this and not Fulani.
Their intention is to pitch Sunday with the Fulani and start war.

I am a strong supporter of Igboho, but he should not just launch any attack, without investigating properly.

We will GOFUND him

Sam is this the outcome of your own investigation? And why are you defending the known fulani terrorists? They can’t deny it . And i know that the Yoruba will definitely flush these animals from the North away from South West.
