Yoruba Nation activist, Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, has vowed to reveal the names of politicians allegedly sponsoring the abduction of schoolchildren in Oyo State if the attacks persist.
Igboho made the statement while hosting newly elected leaders of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) at his Ibadan residence.
In a video now circulating online, he accused certain politicians of providing funds and weapons to bandits responsible for the kidnapping of 47 pupils in Oriire Local Government Area.
He claimed he had offered to lead efforts to dislodge the criminals but was blocked by the Oyo State Government, which warned that any attempt to storm the hideouts could endanger the victims.
“I know the politicians behind them. If they don’t stop, I will mention their names. They are the ones giving them ammunition and money,” Igboho said, adding that the same tactics used to destabilize past administrations were now being deployed against President Bola Tinubu.
The activist also criticized the state’s refusal to allow his security outfit, Iru Ekun, to operate despite receiving federal approval. He insisted that his team could flush out the kidnappers from the forests if given the mandate.
The abduction, which occurred on May 15, saw gunmen attack three schools in Oriire, killing a teacher days later in a gruesome video released by the bandits.
Security agencies have since intensified operations around the forest reserves believed to be the kidnappers’ base.
