Pelumi Olajengbesi, one of the counsel for Yoruba Nation activist, Sunday Adeyemo, aka Sunday Igboho has said there are efforts by the Nigerian government particularly through the former Chief of Army Staff, Tukur Buratai to get Igboho repatriated to Nigeria at all cost.

What was his crime? He demanded that there should be protection for the Yoruba people against some criminal Fulani herdsmen who were killing people.
