Yoruba Nation activist, Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, on Saturday issued an ultimatum to Fulani community leaders in Igboho town, Oorelope Local Government Area of Oyo State, to facilitate the release of residents reportedly abducted by kidnappers.

A video that went viral on social media earlier on Saturday showed Igboho issuing a two-hour ultimatum for the release of the abductees during a meeting with Fulani leaders and security officials at the palace of the Alepata of Igboholand, Oba Joel Olawuwo.

This was as the Oyo State Police Command said it had begun investigations into the threat.

The activist, who spoke in Yoruba, warned that failure to secure the victims’ release within the stipulated period could lead to unrest.
