Yoruba Nation activist Sunday Igboho has raised alarm over the killing of three farmers in Igboho, Oyo State, by gunmen.
The victims, Aderoju Mukaila, Olawuwo Saka, and Ojeniyi Ojebayo, were attacked on Sunday and died from their injuries at a hospital.
Igboho has called on President Bola Tinubu to urgently address the worsening insecurity in rural Oyo State communities.
In a statement, Igboho lamented the government’s failure to respond to repeated warnings about rising insecurity, saying the latest killings validate his concerns.
He urged the government and security agencies to intensify efforts to protect lives and property in the Oke-Ogun axis of Oyo State, stressing that insecurity has become a daily reality for residents.
Igboho alleged that armed criminals have infiltrated rural settlements and forests in the South-West, including parts of Kwara and Kogi states.
He warned that continued attacks could push residents to resort to self-help if urgent action isn’t taken, calling for the immediate arrest and prosecution of those responsible.
