Sunday Adeyemo, a youth leader better known as Sunday Igboho, says he’s not eyeing the position of commandant of the Western Nigerian Security Network code-named Amotekun.
Upon the conclusion of a meeting of south-west governors in Akure, Ondo state capital, on Monday, a source said one of the resolutions made at the meeting was to make igboho head of the local security outfit.
But while reacting to the proposal, Igboho said it will be a distraction.
He disclosed that what was of paramount interest to him was peace and security in Yorubaland, adding that he sought no relevance neither was he looking for political appointment.
“I am not interested in being the commander of Amotekun. I don’t seek such relevance. What I am saying is that the Fulani herders that are terrorising my people should leave our land,” he said.
“We want peace and that is all. I don’t need any political appointment or money from anybody. We only want peace in our area.”
On the fire incident in one of his houses Ibadan, Igboho said the house was set ablaze by his enemies.
“I don’t suspect anyone. Around 3am on Tuesday, my brothers who live in my second house not far from here rushed down and told me that some hoodlums in a Toyota Sienna bus attacked them,” he said.
“We went there immediately but before we got there, they had gained access and set the house on fire. They also fired several shots into the building.
He noted that those who carried out the arson had informants who are Yorubas, wondering why the arsonists did not come to his own house.
Sunday Igboho has been the subject of public discourse in recent days over the controversial quit notice given to Fulani herdsmen to leave Oyo State.
He accused them of being behind the wanton killings, widespread kkidnapping and destruction of farms in the state.
