Sunday Adeniyi Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, is a notable Nigerian Yoruba self-determination activist, businessman, and philanthropist, born on October 10, 1972, in Igboho, Nigeria. He gained recognition for his role in the Modakeke-Ife communal crisis in 1997 and is the chairman of Adeson International Business Concept Ltd. His nickname, Igboho, comes from his hometown, and he holds the chieftaincy title of Akoni Oodua of Yorubaland.
In January 2021, Sunday Igboho drew significant attention when he issued an ultimatum to Fulani herdsmen in Ibarapa to vacate the land following the killing of Dr. Aborode. This act highlighted his activism and commitment to defending Yoruba rights. He has since become a prominent advocate for the freedom of the South West region, leveraging his influence to champion self-determination and regional autonomy.
Despite facing legal challenges, including his arrest in Benin in 2021 after fleeing Nigerian authorities, Sunday Igboho's resolve has not wavered. His detention sparked widespread support and calls for his release, which was eventually granted in October 2023. His journey from a motorcycle repairer to a leading activist reflects his dedication to the Yoruba cause and his unwavering pursuit of justice and self-determination for his people.
