Former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode has cautioned the Federal Government against arresting activist, Sunday Igboho, saying it would be counter productive.
Recall that it was reported that the Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu had directed the Oyo State Police Commissioner, Ngozi Onadeko to arrest Mr. Igboho following his quit notice to Fulani people in Igangan in Ibarapa Local Government.

Reacting to the development, the former Minister took to his Twitter account to query the reason for his (Igboho) potential arrest.
He urged the government to thread carefully concerning the activist, stating that the whole of the South-western region is in support of Igboho’s action.

It would be dangerous, reckless & counter productive for Buhari to ARREST or KILL Sunday Igboho. When the Northern youths demanded that Igbos should leave the north no-one was arrested. Why should Sunday be arrested or killed for asking KILLER Fulani herdsmen to leave SW? 1/4

..The way to solve the problem is to arrest the herdsmen that kill & kidnap our people in the SW & not to arrest or kill those that are standing up & speaking for their victims. Sunday did not ask for ALL Fulanis to leave SW. He asked for the killers, terrorists& kidnappers..3/4

…to watch. I wrote an essay about him and I said his courage would take him far. I was proved right. Today I identify Sunday Igboho who has stood up against wickedness, injustice & apartheied in our land when other Yoruba leaders were too timid to stand. I commend his courage.
