Yoruba Nation activist, Sunday Adeyemo (Sunday Adeyemo), has said he is prepared to disclose the identities of individuals he claims are sponsoring those behind the abduction of schoolchildren in Oyo State if the situation persists.

He made the statement on Wednesday during a meeting with newly elected leaders of the National Association of Nigerian Students, led by Akinteye Bàbàtunde, at his residence in Ibadan.

Speaking in a video shared online, Igboho said he had the capacity to confront the armed group but was prevented from doing so.

“If I am permitted to burst into the hideouts, they will flee… I know the politicians behind them, and if they do not stop perpetrating their evil acts, I will mention them all. The politicians behind them are the ones giving them ammunition and money,” he said.

He also alleged that the insecurity in the region was being influenced by political interests.

“The same thing they did to Jonathan is what they are doing to Tinubu. They want to make the country ungovernable,” he added.

Igboho further claimed he had volunteered to assist in rescuing the abducted students but said his offer was declined by the Oyo State Government led by Governor Seyi Makinde (Seyi Makinde).

“I volunteered to go, but the state government said no. Later, they told me the kidnappers threatened to kill the children if I attempted to force my way in,” he said.

He also stated that although he received federal approval for his security initiative known as “Iru Ekun,” he was allegedly restricted from operating within Oyo State.

> “After I arranged ‘Iru Ekun’ security network, the Federal Government permitted me, but the state government said no security must take a step behind them,” he said.

The comments come amid heightened concern over the abduction of pupils in Oriire Local Government Area on May 15. Armed men attacked three schools, taking dozens of students and teachers.

Security agencies have since intensified operations in forest areas believed to be used by the attackers, including zones bordering Old Oyo National Park.

One of the abducted teachers, Michael Oyedokun, was later killed, with reports indicating he was executed after being filmed by his captors.

Authorities have continued efforts to locate remaining victims as tension persists in affected communities.
