The embattled Yoruba nation freedom fighter, Sunday Adeyemo popularly known as Sunday Igboho may have slipped the line while in the struggle to ensure
that the Southwestern Nigerians are treated with fairness and equity, leading to his current predicament, a section of Nigerians suggests.
The action stimulated controversies across the country as much violence erupted leading to the death of scores of residents. The midnight raid followed allegations that the activist was in possession of firearms. DSS spokesman, Peter Afunaya while confirming the operation said the security agency recovered illegal arms, including seven AK-47 rifles and thousands of ammunition from Igboho’s house.
According to him, “Those who don’t have guns, contribute money and buy guns for them. I am saying it. You can video me. If they don’t know where to buy gun, I will help them to buy them. Buy guns for them. Igboho who is currently in the custody of security officials in Cotonou was arraigned for a hearing on extradition to Nigeria at the Court De’appal De Cotonou on Thursday.Some concerned Nigerians who spoke with DAILY POST on the issue, blamed the activist for “going too far” by acquiring weapons while agitating for the Yoruba nation.
A current affairs analyst, Mrs Ojonya Sylvester who spoke to DAILY POST from Makurdi, noted that Igboho should have learnt from the self-acclaimed leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu who is also currently in the custody of DSS after been rearrested in an undisclosed country.
