Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, says his call for stronger security in Nigeria’s South-West is not meant to target any ethnic nationality. In statements through his spokesperson, Olayomi Koiki, Igboho says his advocacy is directed at criminal elements responsible for kidnappings, killings, banditry and other forms of violence. He presents his position as protection of innocent communities rather than an ethnic or religious confrontation, adding that crime has “no colour or race.”
The clarification comes after accusations from the Fulani socio-cultural group Concerned Fulani People of Nigeria (CFPN), which alleged that Igboho made inflammatory comments against Fulani communities in Oyo State. Igboho dismisses the claims as baseless and says they distort his message. He also calls for Nigerians across ethnic and religious lines to support government and security agencies in tackling insecurity.
Igboho commends the Inspector General of Police Tunji Disu and other security chiefs for their efforts to combat crime and argues that safeguarding communities should be a shared responsibility.
