From Segun Amure, (The New Diplomat’s Abuja Bureau)

O’odua Activist, Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Igboho, on Tuesday, urged the Federal Government to unfreeze his bank accounts to prevent widespread protests across Southwest.

Reacting to the ban on his accounts, Igboho said, “They have frozen my bank accounts because I am fighting a just course. I know Yoruba people are behind me.

“I will not relent. I must achieve my aims by putting an end to criminalities in Yorubaland.

“If they refuse to release my accounts, there will be serious protests across the South-West.

“Yes, the Yoruba are living in fear. They are afraid that the killer-herdsmen might attack them.”

Igboho further said his account was frozen by the Federal Government because some people were soliciting for funds to donate to it.

Recall a GoFundMe account was created for the purpose of purchasing buses for the campaign of Igboho, by Maureen Badejo, who is based in the UK.

“Let us rise up and support Chief Sunday Adeyemo Igboho, they need buses to move around to secure our ancestral land. Our security is threatened as we speak. It seems people in a position of authority are helpless.” Badejo said.

Dissociating himself from the fundraising, he said he had no hands in the said donations.

He, however, beckoned on the government to unfreeze his accounts, threatening protest by youths across the South-West region if the action was not reversed.
