Yoruba Nation activist Sunday Igboho has threatened to personally kill any Yoruba person found collaborating with Fulani criminal groups to kidnap residents in the Southwest, delivering the stark warning at the palace of the Chief of Igboho in Oyo State.
Sunday Igboho is not mincing words — and this time, the warning is aimed squarely at his own people.
Speaking at the palace of the Chief of Igboho in Oorelope Local Government Area of Oyo State, the firebrand Yoruba Nation activist issued a chilling ultimatum to any Yoruba individual caught working with kidnappers. According to Daily Post, Igboho alleged that some Yoruba indigenes are actively collaborating with Fulani criminal gangs to abduct their own kinsmen — and he says the penalty is death.
“There are some Yorubas collaborating with Fulani groups in the kidnapping of our people and aiding them,” he declared. “I will kill any Yoruba person supporting and conniving with Fulani to kidnap in our lands; the judgement for such a person is death.”
He went further, singling out his own hometown: “Anybody that hails from Igboho and is supporting Fulani groups to kidnap people will not end well.”
The remarks came on the heels of Igboho issuing a two-hour ultimatum to the Fulani community in his hometown over the weekend, demanding the release of a kidnapped pregnant woman and her sibling.
Defiant, controversial and impossible to ignore — Igboho is back at the centre of the Southwest’s simmering security storm.
