The Yoruba nation activist, Sunday Adeyemo, fondly called Sunday Igboho, has urged traditional rulers in the Southwest to support him in flushing out insecurity and banditry from the region.

In a statement by the activist, he lamented that insecurity was responsible for deaths and farmer-herder crisis in the region.

He noted that he would collaborate with traditional rulers to put a permanent end to insecurity in the Southwest.

“I welcome the idea, and assure them that I will do my best to checkmate incidence of insecurity provided I receive the backing of the relevant security agencies, Yoruba monarchs and other stakeholders.

“Insecurity and threats precipitated by banditry, herders/farmers clashes, leading to deaths and massive destruction of farmlands have driven away farmers and agric entrepreneurs from farm settlements in Yorubaland.

“We need to flush out criminal elements, who have occupied our forests using the place as launch pads to jeopardize the peace in our communities, towns, villages and amulets. I am ready to lend my support in this regard,” he said.
