I Know Those Behind Oyo Abduction — Sunday Igboho Raises Alarm

Sunday Igboho Alleges Political Links to Oyo School Kidnapping

Yoruba Nation agitator, Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, has claimed that some politicians are behind the abduction of schoolchildren in Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State.

Igboho made the allegation while speaking during a meeting with executives of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS), led by Akinteye Babatunde.

He said he is aware of those allegedly sponsoring kidnappers operating in the state and warned that he may publicly name them if the attacks continue.

Igboho Claims He Was Blocked From Rescue Effort

According to him, he had offered to assist in rescuing the abducted schoolchildren but was allegedly prevented from doing so by the Oyo State Government.

He claimed that authorities told him the kidnappers had threatened to kill the victims if any forceful intervention was attempted.

Igboho argued that the abductors are not “supernatural beings” and insisted they could be dislodged if properly confronted.

“If I am permitted to burst into the hideouts, they will flee. They are humans, not gnomes or mannequins,” he said.

Allegation of Political Sponsorship

The activist further alleged that politicians are backing criminal groups with money and weapons, enabling their operations across parts of the state.

“I know the politicians behind them, and if they do not stop their evil acts, I will mention them all,” he said.

He did not provide specific names but maintained that those involved in sponsoring insecurity would eventually be exposed.

Growing Concerns Over Insecurity

The comments come amid rising concerns over kidnappings and attacks on schools and communities in Oyo State and other parts of the country.

Authorities have yet to respond to Igboho’s latest allegations at the time of this report.
