Sunday Igboho Sounds Alarm Over Oyo Killings, Blames Govt Inaction

Yoruba nation activist Sunday Igboho has sounded the alarm over the killing of three farmers in Igboho, Oyo State, calling on President Bola Tinubu and the Federal Government to urgently address the growing insecurity in rural communities. The victims, identified as Aderoju Mukaila, Olawuwo Saka, and Ojeniyi Ojebayo, were attacked by gunmen in Orelope Local Government Area.

Igboho lamented the government’s failure to respond to repeated warnings about rising insecurity, saying “nothing has changed, and our people continue to suffer attacks while those responsible roam freely.” He urged security agencies to intensify efforts to protect lives and property, warning that residents may take the law into their own hands if decisive action isn’t taken.

The attack highlights the need for effective security measures to curb violence in the region, Igboho said. He called for the immediate arrest and prosecution of those responsible, leveraging actionable intelligence to prevent further attacks.

The incident comes amid a surge in terrorist and bandit attacks in northern Nigeria, with recent incidents in Kwara and Kogi states heightening regional anxiety. South-West governors have convened an emergency security meeting in response.
