Yoruba rights activist, Chief Sunday Adeyemo, popularly called Sunday Igboho, has urged security operatives to go after killer-herders, not local hunters and security guards who use single or double-barrelled guns for protection.
In the now viral video posted by Chief Femi Fani-Kayode on his official Twitter handle, as obtained by newsmen, Igboho, speaking in Yoruba dialect, cautioned security agencies against framing innocent people.
He warned security operatives not to be biased in carrying out the shoot-on-sight directive given by President Muhammadu Buhari. Igboho said Yoruba leaders were happy with the directive, as it would end herdsmen menace.

He, however, advised security operatives to go after killer-herdsmen and bandits armed with AK-47 rifles in their hideouts as revealed by an Islamic cleric, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi.
However, Sunday Igboho, has advised the Federal Government to channel its energy towards arresting Boko Haram leader, Ibrahim Shekau, and Islamic cleric, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, who has been holding meetings with bandits.
Igboho said this during an interview with newsmen on Friday while reacting to the face-off between him and security agents around the Guru Maharaji bus stop along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.
The Yoruba activist, who has been in the news for serving a quit notice on Fulani herdsmen in some parts of the South-West, said he was never invited before they attempted to arrest him.

When asked if he would honour a police invitation, Igboho said, “Go and ask them to invite Gumi and Shekau first before disturbing me. Let them face the bandits instead.”
Igboho also said he would not run, adding that he had returned to his base in Ibadan.
When asked if he would go into hiding, he said, “What for? I am in the neighbourhood. I cannot run.”
Igboho told this newspaper that his bank account was initially frozen but the restriction was lifted recently.
