The Presidency has said the Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, has ordered the arrest of Sunday Igboho for giving Fulani an ultimatum to leave the state and masterminding attacks on Fulani communities in Oyo state,
BBC reports the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, as saying that an order had been given to the Commissioner of Police in Oyo State, Ngozi Onadeko, to arrest Igboho immediately and transfer him to Abuja.
Shehu said government was having a hard time punishing offenders like Igboho because of the activities of human rights organisations.
He said the order given by the Inspector General of Police, for now, is that Igboho should be arrested and brought to Abuja to be taken to court to face prosecution.
