My clamour for effective security in S/West not against any ethnic nationality – Igboho

The Yoruba nation activist, Chief Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, on Monday declared that his agitation for effective security of the South West is not targeted at any ethnic nationality but rather against criminal elements, who are perpetrating abduction, killings, banditry, and other vices. Apparently reacting to a statement by the Concerned Fulani People of Nigeria (CFPN), urging President Bola Tinubu and the Oyo State governor, ‘Seyi Makinde, to call him to order, Igboho described the development as “baseless, misplaced priority and distortion of facts over insecurity ravaging some communities in Yorubaland.” In a statement forwarded to journalists by his spokesperson, Olayomi Koiki, the Yoruba nation activist contended that Nigerians irrespective of religious, political and ethnic divides should collaborate with the government and relevant security agencies to rid the nation of criminalities. The statement reads, “It is obvious that since my agitation for improved security in South West and other parts of the country, I have never declared war against any ethnic group but has consistently voiced my position against criminal elements responsible for kidnapping, vicious killings, rape and violent attacks across Yoruba communities. “The call by this faceless CFPN is myopic, uninformed and ridiculous. Our concern and primary focus have always been the protection of innocent lives and the preservation of peace, security and justice.
