One of the houses of Yoruba rights activist, Chief Sunday Adeyemo a.k.a Sunday Igboho in Soka, Ibadan has been razed by suspected arsonists.

One of Igboho’s aide, who spoke with our correspondent, said the house got burnt in the early hours of Tuesday.

“Igboho has two houses in Soka. The old and the new one where he lives now. The old one got burnt overnight. We suspect foul play. It could be the work of people who don’t like what we are doing to liberate Yoruba from the oppression,” he said.

The source of the fire was unknown as of the time of filing this report but it was gathered that firefighters from the Oyo State Fire Service arrived at the scene a few hours after to douse the fire.

One of the Facebook user by name  Afamefuna Chidume posted “Breaking News- Sunday Igboho’s old house on Soka area of Ibadan has been set on fire, allegations are rife that same people he fought have set his old house on fire, he lived here before moving to his new house. They said it was set on fire some minutes after light was switched off in the area, wonderful!! Wonderful!! Wonderful!!.. Democratic Evangelist Don Senour.”

No statement has been obtained from Sunday Igboho on the incident.

Igboho, who is the Akoni Oodua of Yoruba land, had asked herdsmen in Ibarapa Local Government Area of Oyo State to leave within seven days.

At the expiration of the ultimatum last week, he and his followers had stormed the Fulani settlement in the ancient town to eject Seriki Fulani, Salihu Abdukadir, and herdsmen accused of perpetrating crimes ranging from kidnappings, killings, rape to invasion of farmlands with their cattle.

Some houses and property in the settlement of the Fulanis were torched last week.
