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 Igboho, in Ibadan, Oyo State on Saturday.
According to Igboho’s lead lawyer, Yomi Aliyyu (SAN), the armed thugs invaded 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 state Police Public Relations Officer, Adewale Osifeso, did not take his calls which rang out.
The secret police had stormed Igboho’s Ibadan residence in a Gestapo style around 2 am 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 destabilize Nigeria, an allegation he denied, Igboho escaped to the neighboring 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 the Benin Republic for over six months where he is said to be facing trial for immigration-related offenses, amongst others.
It was gathered earlier 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 the Benin Republic.
