Supporters of Yoruba rights activist, Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, have set up a GoFundMe page targeted at raising £100,000 (N51.8m) for him to buy buses to implement his mission of evicting killer herdsmen from the South-West  region.

The initiator of the fundraising, Maureen Badejo, a blogger and activist based in the United Kingdom, has already raised £9, 320 (N4.8m) within 15 hours.

The page, GoFundMe, showed that some Yoruba persons had made donations.

Sidikat Tope Olufowobi, who donated £200, wrote, “I donated because I am a Yoruba woman and want peace in my part of the country.”

Kunle Makinwa, who donated £50, wrote, “I am an Oodua tokan tokan (through and through). We will get (sic) by the grace of God Almighty.”

 “I have donated my quota,” wrote Tolulope Akinmuyisitan, after donating £50.

Recall that Igboho had issued a seven-day ultimatum to herders in the Ibarapa area of Oyo state, blaming them for kidnapping, killings, destruction of farmland and insecurity in the state.

After confronting the herders in Ibarapa with some youths in the area at the expiration of the ultimatum, he moved to Ogun state on Monday and was received by thousands of youths.

Igboho had stated that the fight to liberate the Yoruba and bring lasting peace is not for the police but for all Yoruba people, irrespective of where they are all over the world.
