The group in its reaction to the recent arrest of Igboho in Benin Republic by security operatives, demanded his unconditional release.
It noted that the agitation is a result of growing insecurity and other challenges in the country which the Nigerian government has failed to deal with.
Previously reported that Chief Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho was arrested on Monday alongside his wife in Benin Republic while they were trying to travel to Germany.
The arrest comes about three weeks after the Department of State Services (DSS) raided his Ibadan residence and arrested some of his aides.
The secret police declared Igboho himself wanted for stockpiling weapons, an allegation he has already denied.
Speaking on the development with TheCable on Wednesday, Olatunji Bandele, national publicity secretary of Agbekoya Farmers Society, said President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration should have a rethink about the arrest of Igboho and IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu.
It said the government is acting in a barbaric manner as the Igboho has not done anything wrong for him to be hounded by security forces.
The group added that while the government and security forces are going after harmless agitators, it has refused to do anything about the activities of criminal herdsmen roaming the forests with sophisticated weapons.
