Jubilation in Igboho as Kidnapped Victims Regain Freedom After Sunday Igboho’s Deadline

Residents of Igboho and nearby communities erupted in celebration after reports emerged that kidnapped victims had regained their freedom following a reported two-hour ultimatum issued by Yoruba Nation advocate, Chief Sunday Adeyemo, widely known as Sunday Igboho.

The development triggered excitement across the historic town as residents, supporters, and well-wishers gathered at different locations to celebrate and express appreciation over the victims’ reported release.

According to eyewitnesses, many people flooded the streets singing celebratory songs and offering prayers of thanksgiving after receiving news that the victims had been freed.

Reports indicated that the release followed a strong warning allegedly issued by Sunday Igboho to those behind the abduction, demanding that the victims be released within two hours.

Although full details surrounding the circumstances remain unclear, the incident has generated widespread reactions among residents and social media users, with many commending the combined efforts of individuals and security stakeholders involved in achieving the victims’ freedom.

Community leaders and locals described the development as a major relief, noting that affected families had endured days of fear and uncertainty.

Many residents also expressed optimism that the incident could signal progress in tackling kidnapping and other criminal activities in the area.

As of the time of reporting, security agencies had not released comprehensive details about the circumstances surrounding the victims’ release, but the development continues to attract attention across Oyo State and beyond.

Observers have further called for stronger security measures and closer collaboration among government authorities, security agencies, community leaders, and local stakeholders to prevent similar incidents in the future.

As celebrations continue in Igboho, residents remain hopeful that sustainable peace and improved security will return to affected communities across Oyo State and the South-West region.

That is what "village people" should be known for; not truncating destinies.

Igboho is a undoubtedly a warrior. He should have been conferred with the title of Aare Onakankanfo of Yorubaland instead of that vulcaniser called Gani Adams. This kidnapping was so pathetic and insultive to the Yorubas. You kidnapped a pregnant woman and others, yet killed the woman and the ransom bearer. Igboho should still go ahead and get them.

welcome development if it's true..
because we don't know what to believe anymore.
then he should be allowed to go after the orile abductors.
those kids have suffered enough.

Oh, I thought it's the same community they're talking about. So another kidnapping happened in Igboho? It is well with Yoruba land.

Keep waiting for comprehensive details from the security agencies to came and take credit. Finish terrorist and send them to their virgins. The security agencies speak with two sides of f their mouths

Egbon Sunday na real warrior

Alagbado ode

the bitter ones are u and people like u cos those u refer to as bitter ones are the ones against kidnapping in the whole country including your west, and 1,500 percent inflation by tinubooo

Fake news they are not released yet

If you don't rescue them, they will troll you
You rescue them, they will still ask you if you know the kidnappers or the kidnapping was staged to give yourself a praise

Without charms and ammunitions, those bandits can't do jack. So if Sunday Igboho is challenging them, it's because he has a higher power. Power pass power!

Confirmed!

Igboho oosa!

The bandits nightmare.

The bandits use charms, that's why they hardly die, and still kill soldiers

Oh my goodness, so the kidnapped Oyo schoolchildren and teachers have finally been freed? Glory be to God



Well done to Sunday Igboho

Which kidnapping again? Is it not the Oyo schoolchildren and teachers abi this is another kidnapping incident in Oyo? Make me understand better please

Why can't the Police and Army also get their own charms? It's beyond charms, the reason the kidnappers are having upper hand is lack of political will plus infiltration of Nigerian military and even security by Fulani and Muslim terrorists sympathetic officers who compromise efforts of Nigerian security.


Tinubu should do something about military leadership in Nigeria.


Make a new law for now that only a Yoruba person can serve as Commanding Officer of any military cantonment in Southwest. Only an Igbo person can serve as Commanding Officer of Military Cantonments in Southeast. same should apply to all cantonments in all Nigerian states.

Do same for State Commissioners of Police and their DIGs and DSS too. Then watch the Fulani herdsmen kidnapping menace begin to die a natural death with time.
