A total of 418 people have donated N7.3 million (£14,373) as at 6 pm on Thursday for the self-acclaimed rights activist, Sunday Adeyemo popularly called Sunday Igboho, to acquire buses for his campaign to flush out killer herdsmen from South West.

The gofundme account, which was opened on Wednesday was spearheaded by an England-based Maureen Badejo, with a target of £100,000.

People especially Yoruba in the diaspora have made donations to the cause.

In the last 14 days, Mr Igboho has been in the news over his agitation to evict Fulani herdsmen in the six Southwest states of Nigeria.

Sunday Igboho had said he would embark on a tour of Southwest states of Nigeria in a bid to flush out killer herdsmen in the region, after an initial outing in Ibarapa, Oyo State.

According to Badejo, the fund raised would be used to acquire buses that will transport Igboho and his supporters to different locations.
