DSS, Police Attempt to Arrest Sunday Igboho in Ibadan

The DSS and Police in a combined effort attempted to Arrest popular activist, Sunday Igboho today in Ibadan on his way to Lagos along the expressway.




It was learnt that Sunday Igboho was on his way to Lagos to visit popular Yoruba leader and an Elder statesman Chief Ayo Adebanjo.

In a viral video sighted, Igboho who was topless, dared security operatives to “do their worst” before they drove off the scene.

Meanwhile, a former Minister of Aviation, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, who confirmed the incident, said Sunday Igboho was on his way to meet with 93-year-old Afenifere Chieftain, Ayo Adebanjo, when the incident occurred.

In a statement, he said: “Let me also send a warning to the Federal Government that Sunday Igboho is a hero to millions of Yoruba and either killing him or detaining him unlawfully would be the biggest mistake they could make.

“Building bridges, dialogue and the pursuit of peace is better than intimidation, threats, violence and war. A word is enough for the wise.”

Also, popular journalist and publisher, Dele Momodu via his official twitter handle also lamented the incident saying: “Why this harassment of Chief Sunday Igboho by agents of a government that knows the whereabouts of bandits who live inside remote forests and won’t go near them but have the temerity and shamelessness to terrorize a man who lives in his own beautiful home in Ibadan city!”
