Sunday Igboho to get new appointment from Southwest Governors  

Governors of the South-West region are considering making activist Sunday Adeyemo, better known as Sunday Igboho the overall leader of the Amotekun Security Outfit.

It is, however, understood that the matter is still pending before the governors as not all of them have agreed to the proposal, though the majority are in support.

IDOMA VOICE recalls the Amotekun outfit was set up as a regional security outfit to tackle rising cases of killings, kidnappings, and other crimes in the South-West region.

Igboho has been in the news recently for his daring acts in confronting suspected criminals in the region, going as far as issuing a quit notice to herders in Ibarapa Local Government Area of Oyo State.

Sources quoted by The Cable revealed the Governors of the region are now considering co-opting Igboho to lead the Amotekun outfit

“The truth is that there are criminals in the south-west forests; they are kidnapping, raping and killing our people,” the source said.

“As someone who is passionate about freedom of Yoruba people who have been harassed and chased out of their farms and homes in Oke Ogun area and in other parts of the south-west, he is being considered to help in making the region more secure.

“He is from from Oke Ogun area of Oyo state so you can understand his passion. Today, a meeting of south west governors was held in Akure and one of the resolutions is that he (Igboho) should be drafted to be the corps marshal of Amotekun. He has not accepted it but we his followers will persuade him to take the role to liberate our people.”

It will be recalled Igboho himself has declared he is not against the Fulani ethnic group but against criminals and killer herdsmen hiding under the name to perpetrate crime.
