A popular Yoruba activist, Sunday Igboho has declared that no politician bankrolled him to issue a quit order to the herdsmen accused of perpetrating crime in Igangan, Ibarapa Local Government Area of Oyo State.

Igboho, who revealed he was moved by the suffering of the people of the town, lamented that politicians have begun to politicise his intervention.

He said: “Politicians are now politicising the herdsmen issue to tarnish my image so as to weaken me.

“Any politician who knows he paid me money to do all that I am doing should come out openly before the whole world. I was not bankrolled by anyone. My utmost concern is for peace to reign in the land of my forefathers.

“The herdsmen have been killing, kidnapping and raping the people (of Igangan) but no government came to their rescue until my intervention. I owe the people a duty because I hail from the town, I even have the tribal mark of the people.”
