One person was feared killed and many confirmed injured on
Saturday when armed thugs attacked the Soka residence of Yoruba Nation
agitator, Sunday Adeyemo aka Sunday Adeyemo, in Ibadan, Oyo State.
Igboho’s lead lawyer, Yomi Aliyyu (SAN), confirmed the
attack on Saturday.
Our correspondent also obtained footage of the injured aides
of the Yoruba Nation campaigner.
According to Aliyyu, the armed thugs stormed Igboho’s residence and macheted the associates of the Yoruba Nation campaigner, leaving one of his aides dead.
He said the hoodlums attacked the same house of the agitator
that the Department of State Services attacked on July 1, 2021.
The secret police had stormed Igboho’s Ibadan residence in a
Gestapo style around 2am on July 1, 2021. The secret police killed two of the
agitator’s associates and arrested 12 others who were released months later.
Declared wanted by the secret police for allegedly
stockpiling arms to destabilise Nigeria, an allegation he denied, Igboho
escaped to the neighbouring francophone country in July 2021.
However, luck ran out on him and he was arrested by Interpol
at a Benin airport when he tried to board a Germany-bound flight.
He had since been remanded in a prison in Benin Republic for
over six months where he is said to be facing trial for immigration-related
offences, amongst others.
Recall that the Attorney General of
the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami (SAN), said the Federal
Government would bring back Igboho to Nigeria after his prosecution in Benin
Republic.
