Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that Igboho dared the government of Oyo state to arrest him following his "leave" order to Fulani herders in Igangan community.
Igboho on Friday, January 22, stormed the town in Ibarapa East local government area of Oyo state after the expiration of his seven-day ultimatum to the Fulani herders mandating them to vacate the community.
Addressing the people of the community in a viral video, Igboho described Governor Seyi Makinde's directive that no one can be evicted from the state as a joke.
