Yoruba Nation agitator Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, has dismissed rumours about his safety, confirming that he is alive and that members of his private security outfit, Iru Ekun, who were injured during a recent operation have recovered.
In a video message, Igboho reassured his supporters around the world that he was in good health and said there was no cause for concern over reports circulating about him.
He also disclosed that the injured operatives have recovered and vowed that his security team would continue its efforts to rid the region of criminal elements.
“I greet you, my fathers and mothers. It’s your son, Sunday Igboho. My brothers and sisters all over the world, today is the 28th of June, 2026.
“Rumours have been circulating, but I want to use this opportunity to assure all my loved ones across the world that I am safe.
“Those who sustained injuries have now recovered. We will not relent until those disturbing the peace of our land are driven out.”
His statement follows reports that members of the Iru Ekun security outfit were ambushed while carrying out an operation inside the Old Oyo National Park in Oyo State.
The operatives had reportedly entered the forest to track suspected kidnappers and other armed criminals believed to be operating within the reserve. Reports also indicated that the team deployed surveillance drones to identify suspected hideouts and monitor activities in the area before advancing into the forest.
