SUNDAY IGBOHO: The making of a freedom fighter
On
By Clifford Ndujihe, Political Editor
UNTIL Friday, January 15, 2021, Chief Sunday Adeyemo, also known as Sunday Igboho, was arguably an unknown entity outside the South-West zone of Nigeria. Even in the South-West, his popularity was not widespread.
However, all that changed on January 15. No thanks to the recurring herdsmen menace in many parts of the country especially the South-West, Middle-Belt, South-South, and South-East that has left sad and teary tales on the lips of victims.
On that historic January 15, Sunday Igboho and his supporters took the battle to end the ‘Fulani’ herdsmen crisis on their shoulders, thus adding their names to the January 15 stories.
The directive was contained in a statement issued on Wednesday, in Ibadan.

Makinde said the deployment of the Amotekun Corps followed a meeting with security agencies and stakeholders in the crisis-torn area.
There has been a crisis between Ibarapa indigenes and Fulani herdsmen accused of perpetrating crimes ranging from kidnappings, killings, rape to invasion of farmland with their cattle in the area.

A next-door neighbour to Ibadan-based Yoruba activist, Chief Sunday Adeyemo, popularly called Sunday Igboho, on Tuesday narrated how hoodlums invaded their community at around 5 am on Tuesday and burnt Igboho s house.
The state police comand had on Tuesday morning through the state Police Public Relations Officer, Olugbenga Fadeyi, confirmed that the hoodlums came into the community in a Hummer bus and Micra car, firing indiscriminately before setting the house on fire.
His two wives live in two different parts of the globe – Germany and Canada – while he has three professional footballers playing in Germany as children.
On different occasions, Sunday Adeyemo had reportedly used guns to fight his enemies. This is said to be something he inherited from his grandfather.
Sunday Igboho is allegedly harbouring thugs in his Ibadan residence, using them to grab lands from their owners across the Southwest states.
Igboho went through the tutelage of Chief Lamidi Adedibu, the strongman of Ibadan politics.
He was one of his most reliable and trusted thugs.
At a point in their relationship, Adedibu began to suspect he was getting too powerful and independent.
