Support me to checkmate banditry, insecurity from South West – Igboho to Yoruba monarchs

Sunday Adeyemo, also known as Igboho, a prominent advocate for the Yoruba nation, has called upon traditional leaders in the Southwest to aid him in eliminating criminal activities and banditry from the area.

Igboho expressed his intention to work closely with traditional rulers to eradicate insecurity permanently from the Southwest. In a signed statement, he expressed concern that insecurity was fueling fatalities and exacerbating farmer-herder conflicts in the region.

“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.
