The pan-Yoruba socio-political organisation, Afenifere, on Thursday, defended the Yoruba Nation agitator, Sunday Adeyemo, popularly called Sunday Igboho, over his actions to ensure that Yorubaland is freed from banditry and terrorism.
The group also called on those threatening the activist to keep the peace, insisting that Igboho was fighting banditry, not ethnicity.
In a statement issued by its National Publicity Secretary, Jare Ajayi, in Ibadan, Oyo State, Afenifere said Igboho was not threatening any particular ethnic group “but individuals and groups who engage in terror acts in Yorubaland.”
The organisation stressed that there was absolutely nothing wrong with the position taken by Igboho in his efforts to protect his people.
The PUNCH reports that following the abductions of a woman and her children at Igbope in Oorelope Local Government Area of Oyo State, the Yoruba Nation agitator issued a two-hour ultimatum to kidnappers to release the victims or face some dire consequences.
