Recall that Igboho had recently asked herdsmen accused of perpetrating crimes ranging from kidnappings, killings, to invasion of farmlands with their cattle to leave the Ibarapa local government area of Oyo state within seven days.
At the expiration of the ultimatum last week, he and his followers had ejected the Seriki Fulani, Salihu Abdukadir, and the herders.
