On July 1, DSS operatives stormed Igboho's residence around 1am, killing two of his associates and arresting about 13 persons.
Ifa priest and iconic writer, Oloye Yemi Elebuibon, has said the raid by operatives of the Department of State Services on the Soka residence of Yoruba freedom fighter, Sunday Adeyemo, aka Sunday Igboho is not an indication that the gods failed him. Igboho, who escaped the raid, has since gone into hiding as the secret police have declared him wanted.
But reacting to the incident, Elebuibon said the success of the DSS operation was not an indication that the powers Igboho had failed. “That is different from powers failing. You know it is a case of someone going to meet another suddenly. Igboho and his men were not expecting the DSS operatives, neither were they prepared so it was not like spiritual powers failed.
“If it were to be a confrontation and then Igboho runs away, that is when anyone can say powers failed but they just came suddenly, taking his belongings, Igboho and his men weren't prepared. “In civilised countries, when security operatives want to arrest someone, they will call him to come out, informing him that he has been surrounded till the person surrenders. That's what I have seen in America. It is only if the person wants to resist arrest or attack officers that the policemen can now apply force.
