Yoruba Nation agitators under the aegis of Yoruba Koya
Liberation Movement have blamed the Minister of Justice and Antoney General of
the Federation, Abubakar Malami; and a former Chief of Army Staff and Nigerian
Ambassador to Benin Republic, Tukur Buratai, for the detention of Sunday
Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho in Cotonou.
Sunday Igboho, a Yoruba rights activist, was on Monday,
returned to prison with fresh charges levelled against him.
The Yoruba Self-Determination Group also told the president,
President Muhammad Buhari and other officers of the Nigerian Government to
“desist from oppressing humanity or face a disastrous end”.
In a statement signed by Yoruba Koya Director of Media and
Communications, Oluwafemi Oluwajuyitan, the agitators urged Buhari and other
Nigerian leaders “putting political pressure on Benin Republic to jail Ighoho
to remember that nothing lasts forever”.
“Events unfolding in recent times has made it imperative to
remind those who currently wield power to tread softly and remember that
everything with a start will surely have an end.
“Recent events only remind one that in the face of
suppression of truth and oppression of the masses, the oppressors have always
consistently lost at the end.
“One cannot help but
remember the brutish rule and reign of the dark-goggled General Abacha and how
he ruled with iron fist. We remember how individuals who stood for the truth
and the declaration of June 12 election were hounded by state-sponsored hitmen.
We remember how the dictator ended in ignominy.
“The present administration, being a democratically elected
government, has surpassed previous military juntas in the bare-knuckled use of
brute force to silence every voice of dissent.
“More worrisome is the rate of nepotism and a barely veiled
attempt to the lord an ethnic group over others. The dual law being applied by
the state is also a cause for concern as Bandits, terrorists, and kidnappers in
certain parts of the country are treated to sumptuous dinners with state actors
while agitators for self-determination of their people are hounded and treated
as common criminals.
“The Gestapo invasion of Chief Sunday Igboho’s house, the
killing and abduction of his associates and his eventual arrests in Benin
Republic at the request of this government are testaments of this government’s
effort at ensuring that their lawlessness remains unchecked.
“We, as a Yoruba self-determination group, sees it’s time
that this government and its actors of impunity are reminded that nothing lasts
forever. Nigerians are in the countdown to the end of this administration even
as calls are made to the International Criminal Court to keep the dossier of
reports sent to them as they will become useful in no distant future,” the
statement added.
