Sunday Igboho’s Residence Under Severe Attacks Again, One Feared Dead, Many Injured

Eko Hot Blog reports that One person was feared dead and many confirmed injured on Saturday when armed thugs attacked the Soka residence of Yoruba Nation agitator, Sunday Adeyemo aka Sunday Igboho, 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.

Media aide to the agitator, Olayomi Koiki, in a chat with newsmen confirmed the attack.
According to him, several of the agitator’s supporters, who were in the house during the attack, sustained injuries.

This was also confirmed in a video he shared as he is calling for Doctors to come to the aid of those who sustained injuries.

Sunday Igboho Will Be Released

The thugs reportedly stormed Igboho’s house and fired shots, leading to the death of one of Igboho’s supporters.

A voice in the video seen by said, “Can you see this? This is Oloye Sunday Igboho’s house and these are his men that have been attacked without doing anything wrong.

“These are the people that got injured, can you see it? They are currently being treated, one of them is dead. The thugs came to attack Sunday Igboho’s house. Can you see?”

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.

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.
