Release kidnapped pregnant woman in two hours – Sunday Igboho to Fulani leaders
by Seun Opejobi · Daily PostYoruba Nation activist, Sunday Igboho, has issued a two-hour ultimatum to Fulani leaders to release the corpse of a pregnant woman who was kidnapped.
Suspected Fulani gunmen had kidnapped a pregnant woman and her sibling in the middle of the night in the Igboho area of Oyo State.
The gunmen were said to have demanded a ransom of N300 million but later reduced it to N150 million.
However, Igboho declared that the ransom should be paid by Fulani leaders in Igboho town, stressing that the victims will never pay the money.
Addressing Fulani leaders in Igboho Town, the Yoruba nation agitator, who spoke in Yoruba said: “You can’t be kidnapping in my father’s land and expect me to keep quiet, I’m an original indigene of Igboho land.
“You kidnapped a pregnant woman, and the person who brought the ransom, you killed him and killed the pregnant woman, for what? In Igboho? You people are not even afraid of me in my father’s land?
“This should be the last and it must end, my father has urged me to address you people patiently. What I’m fighting in other people’s land, you can’t come here and be doing it in my father’s land.
“You people kidnapped a pregnant woman, killed the person that brought the ransom and left one person, you are not even afraid of God, it’s your boys that did the job.
“Since you have been kidnapping here, have they ever abducted Fulani? No, it’s the Yorubas they have been kidnapping and it should be like that. This should be the last, and let us stay in harmony.
“I give you people two hours to release the woman, her children, and her sibling who were kidnapped in the middle of the night. If I don’t see them within the next two hours, we will face each other.
“When we first tracked that number, it led us to Alhaji’s residence and they removed them from there in the middle of the night to Bani’s compound, they took them to Baale’s compound, where they currently are.
“We don’t have any ransom to pay, you Fulanis should raise that ransom among yourselves and pay because we don’t have such money to pay. They started from N300 million and brought it down to N150 million.
“Fulanis should contribute the ransom and get the woman, children and her sibling released. If they are killed, we will have a problem.”
