Yoruba Nation activist, Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, has claimed that he is aware of the politicians allegedly sponsoring kidnapping activities in Oyo State, warning that he may publicly reveal their identities if such actions persist.
Igboho made the assertion on Wednesday while receiving the newly elected executive members of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS), led by Akinteye Bà bà tunde, at his residence in the Soka area of Ibadan.
In a video that has since gone viral, the activist stated that he possesses the capacity to confront bandits directly but lamented that his efforts have not received the approval of the Oyo State Government.
He also refuted allegations that he demanded money from the administration of Governor Seyi Makinde in connection with efforts to rescue victims abducted during recent attacks on schools in Oriire Local Government Area
Igboho further alleged that certain political actors are orchestrating the wave of kidnappings as part of a broader agenda to destabilise the administration of President Bola Tinubu, drawing parallels with the security challenges experienced during the tenure of former President Goodluck Jonathan.
“If I am permitted to storm their hideouts, they will flee. They are humans and can be dislodged. I know the politicians behind them, and if they do not desist, I will expose them. They are the ones supplying weapons and funds,” he said.
He added that he had volunteered to assist in rescuing the abducted pupils but was discouraged by the state government, which warned that such action could endanger the lives of the victims.
According to him, the kidnappers allegedly threatened to kill the hostages if he attempted to intervene.
Igboho also disclosed that while he had secured federal approval for his security outfit, “Iru Ekun,” the Oyo State Government restricted its operations within the state.
Questioning the motives behind the rising insecurity, he argued that similar tactics were used to undermine previous administrations.
Naija News recalls that no fewer than 46 pupils and teachers were abducted on May 15 following coordinated attacks on three schools in Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State, including Baptist Nursery and Primary School, Yawota; Community Grammar School, Esiele; and L.A. Primary School.
