Several members of a private security outfit linked to Yoruba Nation campaigner Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, were reportedly injured after suspected cross-border bandits allegedly ambushed them during an operation in the Old Oyo National Park in Oyo State.

The incident reportedly occurred while operatives of Iru Ekun, a security outfit associated with Igboho, were carrying out an operation to track and dislodge suspected kidnappers and other armed criminals believed to be operating within the expansive forest reserve
Sources familiar with the operation said the team deployed surveillance drones to identify suspected criminal hideouts and monitor the movements of armed groups before advancing into the area.

However, the mission reportedly turned violent when the operatives allegedly came under attack from heavily armed men believed to be members of cross-border criminal networks.

At least Sunday Igboho and his security network has evidence to show the bandits attack them first. It's going to be a long battle.

Stop bringing ESN into a meaningful discussion. We watched how your ESN started eating people.

I don't know why most yoruba Muslims organizations are not condemning islamic bandits and Terrorists activities in the SW, So Muric have gone deaf and dumb, hope is not what am thinking, though most of us Yoruba Muslims have lost interest in islam, but the wicked activities of this useless islamic bandits and islamic terrorists should be condemned by all

So last last Jaz no dey work? The government is not serious. If Igboho and his team of rag tag elements can track and engage bandits within days, then officers and men of the Nigerian military can do same while at the same time have air support to call in at anytime.

Same thing Nnamdi Kanu did and got jailed. Now Sunday Igboho is not only engaging in partisan politics, but became another security outfit of him own kind.

So what is the business of the many battery of security agencies that littered the crannies of this nation? The injustice of Nigeria is already its undoing.

Muric is looking out for Christian missionary schools that aren't allowing hijab as part of school uniform. Terrorising non - Muslims is part of their mandate.
