The people of Igangan also said that they have remained grateful to Igboho for taking bold steps to ensure their community is liberated from incessant crisis and killings between herders and farmers.

Speaking on this, the Agoro of Igangan land, Chief Salaudeen Kolawole, said farmers are now free to go about their daily businesses since Igboho's intervention.

Kolawole said the people feel relieved since the eviction of the Fulani leader and his people from their land.

He said:

“We don’t have any power over Sunday Igboho’s detention but it is our prayers that he will be released as soon as possible.

Sunday Igboho is our saviour in Igangan. He is a man of the people and the Yoruba people are solidly behind him for his agitation for the people of the land. We hope and pray he would have his freedom very soon.”
