According to him, the fight to liberate the Yoruba and bring lasting peace is not for the police but for all Yoruba people.
The Gofundme page set up by supporters of Yoruba freedom fighter, Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, for the purpose of raising £100,000 (N51.8m) for him to buy buses, has garnered over N13 million (£24, 926).
The fundraiser, initiated by Maureen Badejo, a blogger and activist based in the United Kingdom, was to support Igboho's quest of ridding the South-West of killer herdsmen.
Igboho had earlier requested for buses to aid in transporting his men from one place to another, during a virtual town hall meeting on Wednesday.
“I need buses to transport people. The three vans we use were bought by me. We lost three buses that were hired on our way to Oyo," he had said.
The spotlight has continued to beam on Igboho since he issued a seven-day ultimatum to herders in the Ibarapa area of Oyo state, blaming them for kidnapping, killings, destruction of farmlands and insecurity in the state.
After confronting the herders in Ibarapa with some youths in the area at the expiration of the ultimatum, he moved to Ogun State on Monday and was received by thousands of youths.
According to him, the fight to liberate the Yoruba and bring lasting peace is not for the police but for all Yoruba people, irrespective of where they are all over the world.
