Prostitutes Igboho

Sunday Igboho, a prominent Yoruba activist, remains a central figure in Nigeria’s socio-political landscape. His advocacy for Yoruba rights and security, particularly against Fulani herdsmen accused of violence and land encroachment, has drawn both support and controversy. Igboho gained national attention for issuing eviction notices to herdsmen in communities like Igangan, citing incidents of kidnapping, rape, and killings.

Government Crackdown & Detention

This activism led to a dramatic raid by Nigeria’s Department of State Services (DSS) on his Ibadan residence in July 2021, where two people were reportedly killed. The DSS declared Igboho wanted, accusing him of stockpiling arms. Fleeing Nigeria, he was arrested in Cotonou, Benin Republic, while attempting to travel to Germany. He faced prolonged detention under harsh conditions before being released on health grounds, though his asylum status remains complex.

Public Reactions & Controversies

Despite his release, Igboho maintains he is still on the federal government’s wanted list. His legal battles continue, including a Nigerian court ordering the DSS to pay him N20 billion in damages for the raid. His situation has sparked diverse reactions: Yoruba groups and figures like Wole Soyinka defended his cause, while others rejected his push for a Yoruba nation. Controversial moments, like a woman’s viral offer of “free sex” in gratitude for his stance against herdsmen, also surrounded his activism.
