Oyo Governor Seyi Makinde has been challenged by Yoruba activist Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, to arrest him if he can over the eviction order he gave last week to herdsmen.

In Ibarapa East local government, Ighoho had given a seven-day ultimatum to Fulanis in Igangan to leave over suspected abduction and banditry.
In a state broadcast, however, Makinde opposed the directive, stating that no one has the right to evict anyone from any part of the state of Oyo.
However, Igboho defied the order on Friday when, with his supporters, he stormed Igangan who vowed to flush herdsmen from every part of Yorubaland.
In many Yoruba-born, who consider the existence of herdsmen a safety threat, the hugely widespread activist has struck a correct chord.
After the latter dumped Makinde, who he endorsed in the 2019 polls, the Governor and Igboho were in a collision battle.
Igboho blasted Makinde in Yoruba language in a viral undated video, which emerged on Friday.
Even though the name of the Governor was not listed, he said enough for the audience to know that he was referring to Makinde.
He accused the Governor of helping herdsmen, recalling how he depended on Makinde in 2019 to gain votes.
According to him: “You can take all the Fulanis to Yorubaland, you unfortunate ones, if you please.” It’s not going to be well for you.
“In my fatherland, you are threatening me with Fulanis. You’re not going to prosper.
Are they the Fulani who make the laws of the land? Have you forgotten when you were ‘bankrolling’ me when you tried to become governor, and everything I did during the elections for you all, and now you dare to threaten me?
Well, I don’t think you’re serious about your threats yet, until you get all the soldiers and the police to arrest me in my building, until I know you’re serious. Everyone of you are idiots.’
