Igboho Vows to Expel Fulani Settlers After Ogbomoso Kidnap Rescue
Fresh tensions have flared in Oyo State after the abduction of schoolchildren and teachers in Ogbomoso. In a widely shared video, Yoruba Nation activist Sunday Igboho condemned the latest kidnappings and vowed that once the hostages are freed, Fulani residents around Old Oyo National Park would be forced to leave. His statement has divided Nigerians online. Supporters argue that recurring attacks across the South-West highlight failures in security, while critics warn against blaming an entire ethnic community for criminal acts and call for targeted arrests of those responsible. Security analysts say the remarks reflect growing frustration with government responses to forest kidnappings but caution that inflammatory language may worsen ethnic tensions. Amid ongoing investigations, many are urging calm, cooperation, and stronger government action to protect vulnerable communities.
