Three suspected herdsmen have allegedly invaded the residence of the mother of Yoruba rights activist, Sunday Adeyemo popularly Sunday Igboho.
Igboho’s spokesman, Mr Olayomi Koiki, who announced the incident on his verified twitter handle said Igboho’s mother’s house was invaded at about 7:45pm on Sunday.
His tweet reads, “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 Igboho police station.”
Similarly, the Ile-Ife born former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode also took to twitter
He stated: “Three terrorists were caught in Sunday Igboho’s mothers house and not two. One was caught and two escaped.
His tweet reads: “I 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 was with the police.Those that sent them are playing with fire!
“Here is the one that was caught. He is with the police right now. Sadly the other escaped.
“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.”
