The Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu has reportedly ordered the arrest of O’odua Activist, Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Igboho, over the 7-day ultimatum he issued to herders to vacate Ibarapa area of Oyo State.
According to BBC Hausa Service, presidential spokesman, Garba Shehu on Friday said the IGP intimated him about a directive issued to Ngozi Onadeko, the Commissioner of Police(CP), Oyo State to effect the arrest Sunday Igboho.
In furtherance of this, the IGP reportedly ordered the CP of Oyo State to arrest Sunday Igboho and transfer him to Abuja.
However, Police spokesman, Frank Mba was yet to confirm whether such an directive was indeed issued by the IGP as of the time of filing this report.
The New Diplomat checks indicate that Igboho hasn’t been arrested yet as at the time of filing this report.
It would be recalled that Igboho allegedly said herders in Ibarapa should vacate the town within seven days, following alleged cases of kidnapping, rape and killing in the town and environs.
However, the quit notice has escalated tensions in the state. This development compelled l Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State to issue a directive to the police to arrest individuals bent on stoking ethnic tension in the state.
