From Bamigbola Gbolagunte, Akure
The Olowo of Owo, Oba Ajibade Gbadegesin, has tasked the Yoruba nation activist, Chief Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho and his supporters to remain law abiding in the face of challenges.
Oba Ogunoye, who hosted Igboho and his teeming supporters at his palace in Owo, Ondo State, charged the activist to remain focused.
While describing him as a beacon of hope to his generation and future generations, the monarch lauded Igboho for his resilience and leadership, stressing that he should not be deterred by tribulations.

Assuring Igboho and his supporters of continued support, he underscored the need for cooperation among communities in the South West geo-political zone, just as he emphasized that effective development could only thrive in a secured and peaceful environment.
Speaking earlier, Igboho, who noted that laudable support and solidarity from South West traditional rulers during his travails, especially when his Soka residence in Ibadan, Oyo State was invaded by agents of the Department of State Security (DSS) on July 1, 2021, appreciated the traditional ruler for his warm reception and encouragement.
Recalling the attack, which left two persons dead and 13 of his aides arrested, he commended the support he enjoyed in his previous struggles against repeated onslaughts by herders, which allegedly culminated in the killings of farmers, rape and severe injuries in recent years.
He said: “When our people were under constant attacks from hoodlums, it was the encouragement and wise counsel from the monarch that helped us remain steadfast and survive the turbulence.”
