The police boss, who blamed the situation in the state on the inciting pronouncement of Chief Sunday Adeyemo, also known as Sunday Igboho warned that security agencies will not watch while some criminal elements take laws into their hands.
A statement by the spokesman of the Oyo state police command however, did not confirm or deny a report that the Inspector-General of Police had ordered Adeyemo’s arrest.
Adeyemo had issued a quit notice to herders in the state and on Friday held a rally in Igangan to buttress his position.
