Support me in eliminating bandits, insecurity from S’West – Igboho tells Yoruba monarch

Sunday Adeyemo, also known as Igboho, a Yoruba nation campaigner, has challenged traditional rulers in the Southwest to join him in eliminating criminality and banditry from the region.

Igboho stated that he will work with traditional authorities to permanently eradicate insecurity in the Southwest.

In a signed statement, he bemoaned that insecurity was to blame for the region’s death toll and farmer-herder issue.

“I welcome the idea, and assure them that I will do my best to checkmate incidence of insecurity provided I receive the backing of the relevant security agencies, Yoruba monarchs and other stakeholders.

“Insecurity and threats precipitated by banditry, herders/farmers clashes, leading to deaths and massive destruction of farmlands have driven away farmers and agric entrepreneurs from farm settlements in Yorubaland.

“We need to flush out criminal elements, who have occupied our forests using the place as launch pads to jeopardize the peace in our communities, towns, villages and amulets. I am ready to lend my support in this regard,” he said.
