The Olowo of Owo, Oba (Dr) Ajibade Gbadegesin, has charged Chief Sunday Adeyemo, otherwise known as ‘Sunday Igboho’ and supporters to remain law abiding and shun violence.
The monarch, who hosted Igboho and supporters, at his palace in Owo, Ondo State, described Igboho as beacon of hope, urging him not be deterred by tribulations.
The monarch underscored the need for cooperation among communities in the South West, emphasising that effective development can only thrive in a secured and peaceful environment.
Igboho, who commended support and solidarity he received from South West monarchs when agents of the Department of State Security (DSS) invaded his Soka residence on July 1, 2021, thanked the traditional ruler for his warm reception and encouragement.
He commended the support he enjoyed in his previous struggles against repeated onslaughts by herders, which allegedly culminated in the killings of farmers, rape and severe injuries in recent years.
According to him: “When our people were under constant attacks from hoodlums, it was the encouragement, wise counsel, and from the monarch that helped us remain steadfast and survive the turbulence.”
