Yoruba nation activist Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, has vowed to free the Yoruba nation from the clutches of herdsmen, News About Nigeria reports.
Adeyemo said this in a video that went viral on Tuesday, where he was seen addressing some people who were cheering him on following the burial of his mother in his hometown, the Igboho area of Oyo State.
He stated that the Yoruba Nation cannot trust the soldiers deployed to Yorubaland, especially to Ekiti, where monarchs were killed in broad daylight, and cannot combat the supposed killers.
He added that he is ready to face and chase out killer herdsmen from Yorubaland.
“I want you all to stand with me so that we can liberate ourselves from the herders encroaching on our lands. Let us mount security in all the Yoruba lands ourselves, if not, they will take our lands.
“We don’t have to wait for the government or anyone. Let’s just work in unison. We cannot farm on our lands because of these herders. And our people are going hungry and angry. We don’t need the soldiers the government claims to have deployed to Ekiti State. We work in accordance with our elders and mount the places ourselves.
“It was my mother that was my fear before, but now that she’s gone, I have nothing to be scared of again. I am now back to take back our land,” he said.
He further noted that, as opposed to rumours, he is not working for any politician, adding that they had him on close watch, waiting to know his next move.
