A Fulani socio-cultural organisation, the Concerned Fulani People of Nigeria, has called on President Bola Tinubu and Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde to caution Yoruba nation agitator, Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, over what it described as inflammatory remarks targeting Fulani communities in Oyo State.
The group made the appeal in a statement issued on Sunday by its Convener, Ibrahim Barkindo Chubado.
The demand follows reports that Igboho issued a two-hour ultimatum to Fulani leaders in Oyo State over the alleged abduction of a woman and her children.
The group accused Igboho of making provocative statements that could heighten ethnic tensions in the state.
“We are calling on the authorities to call Igboho to order,” the statement emphasised.
The Concerned Fulani People of Nigeria urged both the federal and state governments to intervene promptly to prevent any escalation of tensions, stressing the need to prioritise peace and unity while addressing security challenges in the region.
The development highlights the fragile ethnic relations in parts of Oyo State, where accusations of kidnapping and reprisal threats have continued to fuel mutual suspicions between communities.
No immediate reaction has been received from Igboho or the named government officials as of the time of this report.
