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

Igboho disclosed this in a video shared on Sunday, where he also dismissed rumours about his health and assured supporters that he was safe.

Addressing his followers, the activist said both he and the injured operatives were in good condition and remained committed to tackling criminal activities in the South-West.

“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.

How the attack happened

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

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

Before entering the area, the team was said to have deployed surveillance drones to identify suspected criminal camps and monitor the movement of armed groups.

Gun battle in the forest

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

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

Despite the incident, Igboho insisted that his security outfit would continue its operations against criminal groups accused of terrorising communities across the South-West.
