Yoruba activist, Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, has challenged Oyo Governor Seyi Makinde to arrest him if he can over the eviction order he issued to herdsmen last week.

Ighoho had issued a seven-day ultimatum to Fulanis in Igangan in Ibarapa East local government to quit over alleged kidnapping and banditry..

But Makinde countered the order in a state broadcast, declaring nobody has the right to evict anybody from any parts of Oyo State.

Igboho however defied the order on Friday when he stormed Igangan with his supporters who vowed to flush herdsmen from every part of Yorubaland.

The hugely widely activist has struck a right chord in many Yoruba-born, who consider the presence of herdsmen a security threat.

The Governor and Igboho have been on a collision war after the latter dumped Makinde who he supported in the 2019 elections.
