•Kinsmen travelled in three buses for Igboho’s court case in Benin Republic –Family secretary
Many believe that his activities against those causing pain to his people in Oke Ogun and Ibarapaland in general and other places in the South-West informed the bloody raid of his residence by the DSS and his current travail in Cotonou, Benin Republic. One of the residents of the town, Mr Kunle Adedeji, told our correspondent that many residents of the town supported Igboho’s order to criminal herders to stop attacks on the people in their host communities.
He said, “The wickedness of killer herders which Sunday is speaking against is also happening in Igboho. I am a farmer and three days ago, some of the criminal herdsmen destroyed my farm. We do not have a good relationship with the herders here because of their activities. I laboured to grow the crops and they went there and destroyed the farm. Do you expect me to be happy with whoever did that to me? But we do not have any power.
During the visit, our correspondent observed some herdsmen and their cows on the premises of the Muslim Grammar School, Igboho located on the Igboho-Ogbooro-Saki Road. He said, “Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State has never hidden his position on state police. He believes that some forms of crime are better dealt with using state police. One good example of that is the implementation of the state’s anti-open grazing law assented to in October 2019.
A big dogonyaro tree in front of the Aladikun compound provides shade for people and firms the house built on rocky ground from wind. He said, “Chief Sunday Adeyemo is not a criminal. He is neither a terrorist nor a bad person. He is a nice person but he is being detained now unjustly. What did he do to go against the law? The only thing we can say is to beg the government to let him go his way. He is not the one they are supposed to be hunting about. He wants everybody to live in peace but he hates oppression. They wanted to kill him, he ran away but he is facing trial in Cotonou.
