The pan-Yoruba socio-political organization, Afenifere, has voiced its support for activist Sunday Igboho and his efforts to address insecurity in the region. The group cautioned against the politicization of the fight against terrorism, specifically within Yorubaland. Igboho himself issued a warning to Fulani individuals engaged in criminal activities like kidnapping, demanding they cease immediately. Afenifere’s backing signals growing concern over rising insecurity and a perceived lack of effective government response. The organization emphasizes the need for a focused and unified approach to combating terrorism, free from political interference. This support comes amid heightened tensions and ongoing efforts to address criminal elements operating in the southwest region of Nigeria. The statement underscores the importance of local initiatives in bolstering security.
