The fiery activist said expressed the hopes of working with Yoruba monarchs, security agencies and other stakeholders to put a permanent end to insecurity.
He said he will do his best to checkmate the insecurity which was responsible for death of many and farmer-herder crisis in farm settlements.
Igboho declared this in a statement signed and released on Saturday, wherein he lamented that banditry has drivern away farmers and agro entrepreneurs from Yorubaland.
He said; “I welcome the idea, and assure them that I will do my best to checkmate incidence of insecurity provided I receive the backing of the relevant security agencies, Yoruba monarchs and other stakeholders.
“Insecurity and threats precipitated by banditry, herders/farmers clashes, leading to deaths and massive destruction of farmlands have driven away farmers and agric entrepreneurs from farm settlements in Yorubaland.
“We need to flush out criminal elements, who have occupied our forests using the place as launch pads to jeopardize the peace in our communities, towns, villages and amulets. I am ready to lend my support in this regard.”
