Suspected Fulani herdsmen, on Sunday allegedly attacked the home of Yoruba activist, Sunday Adeyemo better known as Sunday Igboho.
The attack was made known by Igboho’s spokesperson, Olayomi Koiki on his Twitter handle on Sunday evening.
Koiki said that three Fulani herdsmen descended on the house a little before 7:54pm on Sunday. He also said that one of the attackers was apprehended while the other two escaped.
According to him, “Chief Sunday Adeyemo’s mother’s house at Igboho was invaded by three Fulani men this evening around 7:54pm. Two of them escaped, one is currently held at the Igboho police station.”
Former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani Kayode also gave an update on the development and praised Igboho’s relentless defence of the Yoruba race.
According to Femi Fani-Kayode@realFFKI “just spoke to Sunday Igboho & he told me that 2 foreign Fulani terrorists were apprehended in his mother’s home in Igboho, Oyo state this evening.Their mission was to harm Mama. One of them escaped whilst the other is with the police.Those that sent them are playing with fire!“
“First of all they burnt down Sunday’s house in Ibadan. Secondly a soldier and a fake soldier were caught spying on his Ibadan home. Thirdly two terrorists are caught sneaking into his mothers home with a clear intention to harm her. This is a man whose input brought peace to our nation just two weeks ago and helped to bring to an end the Northern embargo of food to the South after he guaranteed the peace and security of innocent Nigerian Fulanis in the SW.
“I am appealing to those who are behind these provocations against his person & reckless attacks to desist from this nonsense. Sunday is a heroic figure in the South West and by far the most powerful, vocal and popular figure in Yorubaland today. Harming him or his family members will not augur well for the peace and stability of our nation.
“N.B. Three terrorists were caught in Sunday Igbho’s mothers house and not two. One was caught and two escaped.”
