Early Morning Fire Guts Sunday Igboho’s House (Photos)

House of Popular Yoruba Activist, Chief Sunday Adeyemo, also known as Sunday was razed in the early hours of Tuesday.

However, no life was lost in the fire, which reportedly started around 3 am.

Channels Television could not ascertain the cause of the fire, as at the time of publishing this report.

Confirming the incident to Channels Television, the Oyo State Police Command said it received a distress call about the fire around 6am.

Efforts are on to get to the root of the matter, police spokesman Gbenga Fadeyi said.

Mr. Igboho, an Oyo indigene, has been a prominent figure in the recent tensions between herders and the local community in the Ibarapa area of Oyo State.

He had issued a quit notice to the herders over allegations of kidnappings, killings, rape, and other violent activities.

The ultimatum expired last week and Igboho held a massive rally in the community after which some houses and properties in the herder’s settlements were torched, according to the police.
