Yoruba Nation agitator, Sunday Adeyemo aka Sunday Igboho is seeking permission from the government to go after bandits hiding in forests across the South-West region.
Speaking via a statement made available to newsmen on Thursday, Igboho lamented that he can no longer stand by and watch bandits attacking, killing and r@ping his people.
He insisted that he is always ready to defend his kinsmen against the activities of bandits and rogue herders, adding that it is a wicked act to unleash violence on innocent farmers trying to earn a living.
He said, “I can’t fold my arms and refuse to stop the marauding bandits and herdsmen attacking, r@ping and killing my people engaging in farming and other legitimate activities in various communities.
“I will go after the bandits and herdsmen lurking in the forests and some communities in the South West provided the government gives me the go-ahead to do so.
“I am always ready to defend and protect my kinsmen anywhere in the South-West against the inimical activities of bandits and rogue herders, who have already infiltrated our forests.
“It is callous and unjustifiable for anyone or group of people to unleash violence on innocent farmers earning their living anywhere in Nigeria. Government and other relevant stakeholders must rise to ensure the safety of the citizenry.”
