Breaking News: “I Am Ready To Enter The Forest With My Boys and Flush Out Bandits from South-West Forests” – Sunday Igboho
Yoruba Nation activist, Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, has declared his readiness to collaborate with the Federal Government to tackle banditry and insecurity across forests in the South-West region.
In an interview with Punch, Igboho said he and his supporters were prepared to move into forests across Yorubaland to flush out terrorists and criminal elements, provided they receive approval and support from the Federal Government.
The activist, known for his strong stance against banditry and alleged criminal activities by rogue herders in parts of Oyo State and other South-West states, emphasized that official backing was crucial to any security operation he intends to undertake.
“I need the support of the Federal Government to strengthen security in the South-West. I’m ready to enter the forests in Yorubaland with my boys to flush out terrorists who have been attacking our people in rural communities,” he said.
Igboho added that without federal authorization, his group would be limited in its actions.
“We can’t do anything if the Federal Government does not give us approval or support. With my freedom and pardon, I am ready to collaborate with the Federal Government to rid our forests of criminal elements and rogue herders who have become threats to the peace and tranquillity of some of our communities,” he stated.
He further stressed that he has the manpower and capacity to assist security agencies in safeguarding rural communities.
“If the Federal Government under the leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu gives us the go-ahead and support, I am absolutely ready to work in ensuring the effective security of our rural communities in the South-West. We have the capacity and manpower to carry out the task if we get approval and support from the government,” he said.
Igboho has previously led operations against suspected bandits in parts of the South-West, earning both support and criticism for his methods. His latest remarks signal a possible shift toward formal collaboration with federal authorities in addressing insecurity in the region.
