EKO HOT BLOG reports that Yorubas in Diaspora have on Friday staged a protest over the attack launched by the Department of State Services (DSS) on the residence of Yoruba Nation agitator, Sunday Adeyemo fondly known as Sunday Igboho, on Thursday.
EKO HOT BLOG had earlier reported that no fewer than two persons were killed after security operatives raided the home of the popular Yoruba activist in the early hours of Thursday, July 1, 2021.
However, the protesters, who gathered at the Nigerian Embassy in the United Kingdom, chanted different solidarity songs with different placards which read, “Location 419 #YorubaNationNow”, “Yoruba Nation. No going back”, “Sunday Igboho is a man of the people”, “Oduduwa Nation must stand,” among others.
They condemned the invasion of the residence of Igboho in the Soka area of Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, noting that the Yoruba Nation agitator remains a peaceful man.
Speaking, a Pro-Yoruba Nation protester, Peter Oladele said, “We are here to inform the UK embassy that enough is enough. Look at the criminal atrocities committed by criminal herdsmen; we are not going to back down. Sunday Igboho is not a terrorist.”

Also speaking, another protester, Grace Dada, added, “What did Igboho do to the federal government? Gumi is there patronising bandits, why didn’t they arrest him?
“They killed two persons, we want them to release those arrested. We are not criminal, Yorubas are peaceful people. Since Igboho has been doing the rally, it has been peaceful,” the protester said.
