A house belonging to Sunday Adeyemo, youth leader better known as Sunday Igboho, in Ibadan, Oyo state capital, has been razed by fire.
One of Igboho’s aides, who spoke with TheCable off the record, said the house got burnt in the early hours of Tuesday.
“Igboho has two houses in Soka. The old and the new one where he lives now. The old one got burnt overnight. We suspect foul play. It could be the work of people who don’t like what we are doing to liberate Yoruba from the oppression,” he said.
Igboho has been in the news since he issued a seven-day ultimatum to herders in Ibarapa local government area of Oyo state.
After the ultimatum elapsed, protesters had stormed a Fulani community in the area, setting houses on fire and vandalising some vehicles.
