Yoruba rights activist, Sunday Igboho has said that ‘suspected arsonists’ are responsible for the fire incident at his house in Soka, Ibadan.
It was reported on Tuesday morning that a property owned by of Sunday Igboho was set ablaze early Tuesday morning.
The building was his Soka residence in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital and no one has been reported injured as at press time.
Sunday Igboho became popular after his ultimatum to the Fulani in Oyo.
He accused the Northerners of masterminding abductions and killings in the state.
After the expiration of the deadline, the house and cars of the Seriki Fulani in Igangan were torched.
Igboho denied having a hand in the attack. Today’s inferno at his residence is believed to be a reprisal.
But in a tweet confirming the fire incident, the activist only blamed those he described as suspected arsonist, saying, “My house at Soka Ibadan razed down by suspected arsonists.”
In the same vein, the Police Command in Oyo State said that the fire was the handiwork of yet-to-be-identified hoodlums.
The command’s spokesman, CSP Olugbenga Fadeyi, confirmed that the command also received a report on the incident.
Adeyemo (Igboho), popularly known as Sunday Igboho, recently gave a seven-day ultimatum to herders in the Ibarapa axis of Oyo State to leave the area.
He said herders have been responsible for the killings and kidnappings of the residents of Oke-Ogun and Ibarapa.
But Gov. Seyi Makinde of Oyo State insisted that the herders were not responsible for the insecurity. He asked the police to arrest Igboho and other trouble makers.
