The mother of Yoruba activist, Sunday Igboho has dared the government to arrest her son.
She published a video on social media where she dragged the government and political leaders; for threatening to arrest her son, Sunday Igboho.
Several days ago, Sunday Igboho gave a quit notice to Fulani herders in Oyo state. The popular activist had accused the Fulani herdsmen of perpetrating kidnapping and murder in the state; as well as other parts of the South West.

We earlier reported that the Inspector General of Police, Adamu Mohammed, ordered the Commissioner of Police in Oyo state, Ngozi Onadeko, to arrest Igboho. His mother has since reacted to the move from the authorities.
Meanwhile, former Ekiti State governor, in his tweet on Saturday, Ayo Fayose admonished Oyo State governor, Seyi Makinde to deploy dialogue; urging him to meet with all stakeholders in order to bring the situation under control.

Fayose published this on his verified Twitter account on Saturday, January 23. Read what he wrote:
“Gov Seyi Makinde should rather use dialogue and persuasion; instead of escalating tension in his own State by calling for the arrest of Sunday Adeyemo; or anyone at this time,” Fayose said.
“If FG and some governors could ‘dialogue’ with Boko Haram terrorists, Gov Makinde calling all stakeholders to a round-table discussion will not be a misplaced action. Any attempt to arrest anyone will cause a further threat to the already fragile peace in the West and the country as a whole. Above all, any unchecked escalation may lead to a state of emergency.”
On Friday, protesters in Igangan, Ibarapa local government area of Oyo State, had allegedly attacked settlements inhabited by Fulani groups, setting ablaze vehicles, houses – including the house of Salihu Abdukadir, Seriki Fulani, leader of the Fulani group.
