Kidnapped Victims Released After Activist Sunday Igboho Issued A 2‑Hour Ultimatum To Fulani Leaders ..

In a bold and fiery move on Saturday, June 20, 2026, Yoruba activist Sunday Igboho stormed the palace of the traditional ruler in Igboho, Oyo State, issuing a two‑hour ultimatum to Fulani leaders and residents in the town. He demanded an immediate end to kidnappings in his hometown and ordered the release of a pregnant woman, her children, and a sibling who were abducted the night before.


Speaking with unmistakable clarity and anger, Igboho reminded the community of previous incidents where kidnappers allegedly killed a pregnant woman and the person who attempted to pay ransom. He warned that such acts would no longer be tolerated on his father’s land.

“You can’t be kidnapping people in my hometown. I am Sunday Igboho, and I am from this hometown,” he declared, giving them just two hours to free the victims.

Shortly after the ultimatum, videos and reports emerged confirming that the kidnapped family members had been released. Residents of Igboho poured into the streets, dancing, singing, and celebrating the safe return of their people.

The dramatic rescue has once again placed Igboho at the center of grassroots security activism in the South‑West.
