I Tremble And Shiver At The Mention Of Igboho’s Name – Evicted Seriki Fulani Of Igangan
Following his eviction and the burning down of his house in Iganga, the evicted Seriki Fulani of Igangan, Abdulkadir Saliu has revealed that he now lives in fear at the mention of Yoruba activist, Sunday Igboho’s name.
For Saliu, Igboho seems to be the most terrible person in the world.
Saliu said he originated from Ilorin, Kwara State and had relocated with his father to Igangan in the Ibarapa North Local Government Area of Oyo State.
He said he had lived in Igangan since then and prospered in the land.
He said, “I got to Igangan in 1972. At the mention of Igboho’s name, I get scared and shiver.
“I am an indigene of Ilorin, my father and mother originated from Ilorin. I had come with my father to Ibarapa town. He was buried in Ibarapa.
“At the mention of Igboho’s name, I get scared and shiver, because what I experienced on the day he came with his group to my place at Igangan, since my childhood, I’d never seen such, so when I heard he was going to Ogun State, I couldn’t sleep.
When asked if he would be willing to go back to Igangan, Saliu said if he was given assurance of safety, he would be willing to go back.
He said, “If the villagers want me back, I will go. I went there with cows; all my life, I deal in cattle. All the while I was there, God always blessed me. My cattle increased every year, it never reduced. How will I not want to go back to such a place if there is assurance that no evil will befall me when I go back. If not, I can’t go back. God has spared me and given me a place to manage. If there’s no assurance of safety, why will I go there?”
