One of the Yoruba Nation frontline agitators, Sunday Adeyemo popularly known as Sunday Igboho, has visited Igangan community after it was attacked by herdsmen last Saturday.

Igangan is one of the communities in Ibarapa North Local Government Area of Oyo State, South West Region of Nigeria.

According to reports, Igboho stormed the town on Monday evening to sympathise with the people and to see the level of destruction carried out by the gunmen who attacked the town on Sunday morning.

Many were reportedly killed during the attack and properties were destroyed including the palace of the Igangan monarch.

Residents of the town were quoted confirming that Igboho visited the town on Monday.

Although Igboho’s spokesperson, Olayomi Koiki, is yet to make official statement to confirm his principal’s mission in the town, but, the video of the visit to the town was posted on his Facebook page, reports said.

Scores of okada riders were seen hailing him and riding beside the Toyota Hilux which conveyed him to the town.

Igboho was seen waving at the people and acknowledging cheers from them from inside the vehicle.

The Convener of Igangan Development Advocates, Oladiran Oladokun, also confirmed that Igboho visited the town but he said he was not around during the visit.

Recall that Igboho had visited the town on January 22 over atrocities committed by suspected herdsmen. A development that led to the eviction of some suspected violent Fulani herders out of the ancient town.
