The whereabouts of Yoruba activist Sunday Adeyemo also known
as Sunday Igboho is unknown.
It was gathered from a source close to his camp that he
had gone into hiding.
“He is no longer in Oyo State, I spoke with his people.
Expectedly, they didn’t disclose the location.
“The federal government turned the heat on Igboho to stop the July 3 rally. This has been well established”, he said.
Igboho has cancelled the demonstration scheduled to hold in
Lagos on Saturday.
The vocal agitator has been leading processions to demand
the break out of the South-West from Nigeria.
Yoruba Nation rallies have already been held in other states
in the region. It is believed Igboho eventually backed down to avoid arrest.
His fears reportedly heightened after Nnamdi Kanu, leader of
the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) was apprehended.
In the wee hours of Thursday, Nigerian forces stormed
Igboho’s home in Ibadan, Oyo State Nigeria.
Igboho told BBC Pidgin that two people died and several
others were still missing after the raid in the Soka area.
“I dey my house around 1:30am. I just hear gunshot for front
of my house and shout say, we be DSS, we be soja, Sunday Igboho come out
“Wetin I dey do na to fight for my pipo, my rally dey peaceful. I fight for my family (Yoruba) becos Fulani bandits kill, rape dem. Goment refuse to do di right tin, dat na why I come out”, he said.
