Olufemi Olaniyi, IbadanThe people of Igangan community in Oyo State have expressed gratitude to Yoruba activist, Chief Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Igboho for his his efforts towards liberating the community and the Ibarapa people from the insecurity created by criminal herdsmen. The community also lauded Governor Seyi Makinde, Inspector General of Police, Abubakar Adamu; and the Commissioner of Police in Oyo State, Mrs Ngozi Onadeko. The Chairman Igangan Community Council, Mr Segun Okedeji and President, Igangan Development Advocates, Mr Wale Oladokun, said in a statement on Wednesday that the heroic struggle led by Igboho had brought respite to the people. Indigenes and investors in the community were constantly terrorised and plundered by herdsmen, who subjected them to living in perpetual fear. But the confrontation of Igboho with the Seriki Fulani in the area, Salihu Abdukadir, drew attention to the plights of the people which had led to a concrete promise to improve security in the area.
