Sea King Challenges Sunday Igboho Over Silence on Oyo Abductions

|By Queen Banigo

Nigerian TikToker Olumide Ogunsanwo, popularly known as Sea King, has criticised Yoruba Nation agitator Sunday Adeyemo over his silence following recent attacks and abductions in Oyo State.

Sea King spoke in a video posted on his Instagram page on Tuesday while reacting to the mass abduction of teachers and students of Community High School, Ahoro-Esinele in Oriire Local Government Area on May 15, 2026.

Reports indicate that armed men abducted several victims during the attack. On May 17, one of the teachers, identified as Michael Oyedokun, was reportedly beheaded by the kidnappers. A video allegedly released by the gunmen showed the school principal appealing to the government to negotiate for the victims’ safety.

Reacting to the incident, Sea King accused Igboho of remaining silent despite previous vows to confront banditry and insecurity in the South-West region.

Describing the silence as “politics,” the TikToker questioned why the activist had not publicly addressed the latest violence in Yoruba communities.

“Where is Sunday Igboho now?” Sea King asked in the video.

“You said nobody should campaign in Yoruba land except Tinubu. You said you wanted to eradicate all the Fulani killing people in the land. Where are you now? Why are you silent?”

He further challenged Igboho over earlier promises to mobilise supporters against criminal groups operating in the region.

“You vowed to eradicate the bandits. You promised to lead 50,000 men. Now you are back in Yorubaland, but the killings have not stopped. So where is the action? Silence after a presidential pardon is not bravery, it is politics,” he said.

The criticism comes three months after President Bola Ahmed Tinubu removed Igboho’s name from the Federal Government’s wanted list.

Igboho recently returned to Nigeria after spending nearly five years outside the country following the July 2021 raid on his Ibadan residence by operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) during the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari.

The DSS had accused him of activities linked to his agitation for a Yoruba Nation.
