‘I’m Safe’ – Sunday Igboho Gives Update On Injured Operatives In Oyo Forest Ambush

Yoruba Nation agitator, Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, has said members of his private security outfit, Iru Ekun, who were injured during an ambush in the Old Oyo National Park, have recovered.

Igboho gave the update in a video shared on Sunday, where he also dismissed rumours about his wellbeing and assured his supporters that he was safe.

He said the injured operatives had recovered from their wounds, adding that he remained committed to efforts aimed at tackling criminal activities in the region.

“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 going around, but I’m using this opportunity to tell all my loved ones around the world that I am okay.

“Those who sustained injuries are now okay. We will not rest until we ensure that those disturbing the peace of our land depart,” he said.

The update followed an attack on members of Iru Ekun during an operation inside the Old Oyo National Park in Oyo State.

The operatives were reportedly on a mission to track suspected kidnappers and armed criminals believed to be operating within the forest reserve when they came under attack.

The team was said to have deployed surveillance drones to locate suspected criminal camps and monitor the movement of armed groups before moving into the area.

However, the operation reportedly turned into a gun battle after heavily armed men, suspected to be members of cross-border criminal networks, opened fire on the operatives.

Some members of the Iru Ekun team sustained injuries during the exchange.

Igboho said despite the attack, he and members of the outfit would continue their campaign against criminals disturbing communities in the South-West.
