Yoruba activist, Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho has dared Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde to arrest him for ordering Fulani herdsmen to leave Ibarapa.
Igboho had issued a seven-day ultimatum to Fulanis in Igangan in Ibarapa East local government to quit over alleged kidnapping and banditry last Friday.
But Governor Makinde had countered the order in a state broadcast, declaring that 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 with a renewed determination to flush herdsmen from every part of Yorubaland.
But Makinde, on Friday while receiving the new Commissioner of Police in Oyo, CP Ngozi Onadeko,asked her to arrest and treat those igniting ethnic tension in the state as criminals.
According to him,government would not allow anyone hiding under the guise of protecting Yoruba interest to cause ethnic tension and perpetrate crisis in the state.
In a viral undated video, which emerged on Friday, Igboho blasted Makinde in Yoruba language
Though he didn’t mention the Governor’s name, he said enough for viewers to know he was referring to Makinde.
He accused the Governor of backing herdsmen, recalling how Makinde relied on him to win votes in 2019.

According to him: “You can bring all Fulanis to Yorubaland, if you like, you unfortunate ones. It will not be well with you.
“You are threatening me in my fatherland with Fulanis. You will not prosper.
“Is it the Fulani’s that make the laws of the land? Have you forgotten when you were ‘bankrolling’ me when you wanted to become Governor and all I did for you all during the elections, and now you dare threaten me?
“Well, I don’t believe that you are serious with your threats yet, until you bring all the soldiers and policemen to arrest me in my house, before I know you are serious. You are all fools.”
