The Ogun State Government has denied insinuations it requested help from popular Yoruba activist, Sunday Adeyemo, also known as Sunday Igboho to tackle the menace of herdsmen killings in the state.
EKO HOT BLOG had earlier reported that Sunday Igboho stormed Ogun state on Monday afternoon, declaring war on killer herdsmen across the State.
Yewa North and Yewa South in Ogun West Senatorial District have been the epicentres of herdsmen attacks, killings, maiming and wanton destruction of farmlands.
Speaking with his supporters at the Ita Oshin junction, Igboho said he was heading to Yewaland to flush out criminal herdsmen.
“We observed there is injustice from the herdsmen because they are close to the FG. Any herdsman who engages in kidnapping should be flushed out”.
“Not only Igangan, we are going to visit all Yorubaland. I am going to Yewa because that is where the Fulani are wrecking havoc.
“Let us thank the governor of the state. His love for people of Ogun State made him to allow us visit the state. If not for his love for the people of Ogun State, he would not have allowed us to come to the state.”
But the state Government has denied inviting Igboho to flush out herdsmen.

Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Abdulwaheed Odusile, in a statement, said:
“In the interview, Hon Hazzan had said that the state government, in its usual inclusive approach to governance, would continue to work with all the stakeholders, both within and outside the state, to ensure security of lives and properties.
‘’Sadly, however, this statement was disingenuously twisted to mean that the State had invited Adeyemo to help curb insecurity. This is regrettable and totally misleading.
The statement further disclosed that Prince Dapo Abiodun’s administration, since inception, has been known to be inclusive in its approach, always collaborating and engaging with a wide range of stakeholders.
Security is no exception, resulting in the achievement of the enviable status and recognition as most secure state in the country by many organisations.”
