Yoruba rights activist, Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, said on Monday morning that soldiers invaded his residence in Ibadan in a bid to arrest him and his supporters.
Adeyemo, raised the alarm through his spokesperson, Olayomi Koiki who went live on Facebook broadcast at the car park of the activist’s residence.
Koiki said that the soldiers invaded Igboho’s residence at around 2am but that they were being resisted.
In a video, Koiki said, “We are more than capable of securing ourselves, we have chased them far from here.
“I am sure you can hear gunshots. That is them shooting from afar, we cannot be intimidated because we are fully prepared and ready for them.
“By tomorrow morning, I am sure the government would come with false press statements, that it was a set of unknown soldiers, that was the same tactic they used to attack Fela’s mother. They equally used it during #EndSARS.
“They brought us a letter sometimes ago but we rejected them because the letter was what they used to kill Dele Giwa. We have chosen to be peaceful only for them to keep looking for our trouble which we won’t hesitate to give to them.”
Recall that Igboho had in January led a group of men to Igangan in the Ibarapa axis of Oyo state to eject the Seriki Fulani of Igangan, Salihu Abdulkadir, triggering a face-off with the state and federal governments.
