IGP orders arrest of Sunday Igboho over eviction notice to herdsmen
Mohammed Adamu, inspector-general of police (IGP), has ordered the arrest of Sunday Adeyemo, youth leader better known as Sunday Igboho, over the quit notice he issued to herdsmen.

BBC Hausa quoted Garba Shehu, presidential spokesman, as confirming the arrest order during its programme on Friday.

Shehu reportedly said the IGP informed him of his directive to Ngozi Onadeko, the Oyo commissioner of police, to arrest Igboho and transfer him to Abuja.

Frank Mba, police spokesman, did not immediately respond to TheCable’s inquiry on the order of the IGP.

Igboho had asked herdsmen in Igangan in Ibarapa north local government area of Oyo to leave within seven days following reports of the killing of some Oyo citizens.

He had blamed herders and Fulanis, including Saliu Kadri, the Seriki Fulani, of being behind the rising insecurity in the area.

The quit notice generated tension in parts of the state, prompting Seyi Makinde, the governor, to ask the IGP to arrest those fomenting trouble under the guise of protecting the interest of Yoruba people.

“For people stoking ethnic tension, they are criminals and once you get them, they should be arrested and treated like common criminals,” the governor had told the police commissioner.

So you are saying a country without Fulanis can not eat meat? See what Nigerians youth have been reduced to.

Queenlovely:
Yoruba man cannot eat small food without 10 meat in his soup,
their addiction to meat will kill them,
let them boycott cow meat if they are serious and see the financial damage on the Fulani
where there is no demand there can be no supply

Slimslimqq:
I see a second protest looming, especially the south west.. A lot of youths are taking this up silently, and u all will be surprised when things go south. We are patiently waiting for them.

illicit:
U dont mean it....

istina:
They did it partially especially the christians among them, it affected the fulani's business and thats why they resulted to kidnapping in the south west.

Fahdiga:
We the reasonable Yoruba youths have taken a consensus to reject Sunday Igboho and his ilks. He wants to turn Yoruba land to Somalia. Fulani are more peaceful than violent Igbos. Igboho should be arrested and jailed for life
