Sunday Igboho Invokes God Of Iron Against Killers Of Ekiti Monarchs
Sunday Igboho, a Yoruba nationalist, calls on the “God of Iron” to put an end to the murders of the Ekiti monarchs
Sunday Adeyemo, also known as Sunday Igboho, is a Yoruba nation activist who has demanded the immediate arrest of the gunmen who killed two traditional rulers in Ekiti State.
Through his attorney, Pelumi Olanjengbesi, Igboho made a press statement pleading with President Bola Tinubu's administration to make every effort to apprehend and prosecute the offenders.
Recall that two traditional rulers in Ekiti State were shot by gunmen, causing confusion in their towns. The incident happened in the state's Ajoni Local Government Area, between Oke-Ako and Ipao-Ekiti.
The Yoruba Nation advocate called the killings of the traditional rulers intolerable in his statement. In addition, Igboho pleaded with security services to free the students and staff members of Apostolic Faith Group of Schools in Emure, Ekiti, who were also kidnapped by gunmen.
He stated, “I extend my deepest condolences to the Ekiti State Governor, Biodun Oyebanji, the state government and the resilient people of Ekiti, particularly those in Esun Ekiti and Imojo Ekiti, in the wake of the tragic demise of the esteemed Elesun and Olumojo monarchs, our revered royal fathers.
“My thoughts also go out to the affected families and the innocent school children kidnapped in Eporo Ekiti of the Emure Local Government Area of the state. This sorrowful incident not only signifies a profound loss for the Yoruba people but also casts a sombre shadow on our identity as a peace-loving community.
“Such heinous acts undermine the security and progress of the state and other states grappling with this menace. I categorically condemn these barbaric murders and urgently call on both the state and federal governments to take decisive actions in bringing the perpetrators to justice.
“We demand the immediate apprehension of the murderers and a thorough search of the surrounding woods and forests to root out those hiding to perpetrate such evil deeds. in seeking justice, I invoke the god of iron, Ogun, to intervene and put an end to this menace. May the collective will of the Yoruba people prevail, and may the departed monarchs find eternal peace. We stand in unified grief and resolve to ensure that such tragedies do not mar the peace and prosperity of our beloved Yorubaland.
“It is my solemn appeal and encouragement to government at all levels to allow us to mobilise local community vigilantes to complement all security agencies in protecting our people. This is very painful. Our people deserve to live. All those connected to such wicked acts, be it for politics, criminality, or sheer wilkedness, should know that the end is near,” he added
