Igboho Issues Two-Hour Ultimatum to Fulani Leaders Over Oyo Kidnappings

Yoruba nation activist Sunday Igboho delivered a two-hour ultimatum to Fulani community leaders in Igboho, Oyo State, on Saturday, demanding the immediate release of abducted residents. In video footage that circulated on social media, Igboho addressed traditional rulers and community representatives, expressing fury over a series of kidnappings in the area.

The ultimatum followed reports of multiple abductions, including the case of a pregnant woman. Igboho directed his accusations at members of the Fulani community, whom he held responsible for the kidnapping spree affecting his hometown.

He warned that failure to secure the victims' release within the stipulated two-hour window would result in unrest. The activist called for restraint from residents while appealing to traditional authorities to facilitate the victims' return.

Oyo State Police Command initiated an investigation into the threats issued during the ultimatum. According to reports, the ultimatum appeared to produce results.

Residents in Igboho subsequently celebrated the release of abducted victims, including a pregnant woman and children. Community members gathered to sing and dance in commemoration of the captives' return, marking a development that followed Igboho's public ultimatum to Fulani leaders at the palace of the traditional ruler.

The sequence of events reflects ongoing security challenges in parts of Oyo State, where kidnappings have become a recurring concern for residents. Igboho's intervention and the subsequent release of victims underscore the gravity of the situation in the affected communities.

The police investigation into the activist's threats remains ongoing as authorities examine the circumstances surrounding both the kidnappings and the ultimatum.
