Olayomi Koiki, Media Aide to Yoruba rights activist, Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, has disclosed that gunmen attacked the residence of Igboho in Ibadan.

In a viral video he shared on Facebook on Monday, Koiki said the residence was besieged by personnel of the Nigerian Army in order to arrest his principal.  

He stated: “There is a situation right now where the Federal Government of Nigeria tried to invade our residence. We are telling the world that the war that the Federal Government is waiting for might start today.

“The war that the Federal Government think they are expecting from the Yoruba people; let’s tell the whole world. As I speak to you, there is an ongoing incident but we are more than capable.

“We cannot be caught unguarded. You cannot threaten us. Chief Sunday Igboho is fine.”

 “By tomorrow morning, I am sure the government would come with false press statements, that it was a set of unknown soldiers, that was the same tactic they used to attack Fela’s mother. They equally used it during #EndSARS.

“They brought us a letter sometimes ago but we rejected them because the letter was what they used to kill Dele Giwa. We have chosen to be peaceful only for them to keep looking for our trouble which we won’t hesitate to give to them.”
