The Governor of Ondo State , Rotimi Akeredolu , has said that Yoruba rights activist , Chief Sunday Adeyemo, also known as Sunday Igboho , is a child of circumstance .
Igboho gained prominence after he issued an ultimatum for criminal herdsmen to vacate Oyo State over the rape, kidnappings , killings and maimings attributed to them in the state .

His ultimatum was followed by a seven -day ultimatum issued by Akeredolu for herdsmen to vacate the forest reserves in Ondo State due to their alleged criminal activities .
Speaking during an interview on
Channels Television ’s Politics Today programme on Monday , Akeredolu said the circumstances that led to his and Igboho ’ s interventions must be given a look .
He said, “ Sunday Igboho is a child of circumstance . We must look at the circumstance that led to each of these interventions .

“ I for one , I’ ve always said that I will not support anyone taking laws into his own hands . That ’s why I had to go to Ibadan . That ’s why I will go to every other place in the South -West to preach about illegality and that we are against illegal actions . We are not for it at all .
“ There are things that we do at times that you have to know what led to them . Those circumstances might not be justifiable , might not be legal , but when you look at it , you’ ll know we are a child of circumstance . ”
