The Yoruba nation agitator, Sunday Adeyemo (alias Igboho) has issued a fresh warning to all Fulani herdsmen suspected to be involved in several killings and abductions of residents in Oyo state.
The notice was announced by his spokesperson, Olayomi Koiki in an audio message made available to SaharaReporters on Monday evening.
Koiki revealed that Igboho has arranged for his men to storm some forests in the Oke-Ogun areas of Oyo State and flush out all Fulani herdsmen that are living there.
Igboho mentioned that the herdsmen were allegedly involved in constant abductions and killings of Oke-Ogun residents.

Speaking in Yoruba, Koiki said, “Today is the 15th of July, 2024. This breaking news is issued around 6pm. All Fulani people living in Oke Ogun, living inside the bushes there, who are kidnappers, that are killing the people, are immediately ordered to leave now. Sunday Igboho said he would continue his work at Oke-Ogun, in Kishi and all communities that made up of Oke-Ogun. He said he would touch all those places remaining.
“All Fulanis should leave the bush in Oke-Ogun. The forest does not belong to you. The land belongs to us. He added that he is also waiting for the Obas in other parts of Yoruba land to speak up if they are witnessing attacks from Fulani people.
“He said he was ready to chase them away. He promises to flush all those miscreants preventing Yoruba from accessing their farms. He said he is not fighting with any governor, but he said his men would storm all the forests presently occupied by herders across the Yoruba lands but he is waiting for permission from other Obas in Ondo, Ogun, Ekiti, and Osun states.”
“He said his men are currently working on how to storm the forest in Oke Ogun land in Oyo State and warn all Fulani living there to vacate immediately,” Koiki added.
