The Gofundme account recently opened to help Yoruba activist Sunday Adeyemo, popular known as Sunday Igboho, has raked in £31,470(N16.4m) as of 7th February.
Maureen Badejo organized the fundraiser with a target of N52.3m days after Igboho issued a request for Fulani herdsmen to vacate Oyo State.
The activist issued the injunction over the kidnappings, killings, maimings, and rape allegedly committed by Oyo State’s herdsmen.
Igboho has since taken his campaign against herdsmen to neighbouring Ogun State, where many supporters welcomed him.
To support his cause, Badejo created the Gofundme account, which has seen donations from Yoruba people in the diaspora to help purchase buses to assist Igboho, whom he believes will secure Yoruba land.
A quote on the account said, “They need buses to move around to secure our ancestral land. Our security is threatened as we speak; seems people in a position of authority are helpless,”.

One Kehinde Akinboyewa who donated £250, said, “No cause can be more just than this battle for the soul of the Yoruba Nation. Strong message to the Fulani terrorists and their enablers in high places, that though we’re thousands of miles away from home, we’ll stand shoulder to shoulder with our brothers and sisters in Yoruba land. The push back has begun in earnest; wanting to live in peace in your own home can’t be asking for too much!”.
Fatai Adegbenga Kazeem who supported the cause with £20, said, “It is a just cause for all the Yoruba (people) home and abroad. Enough is enough. Our land must be safe for all again.
