Some unidentified armed thugs on Saturday invaded and attacked a residence of popular Yoruba nation agitator, Sunday Adeyemo aka Sunday Igboho, located in the Soka area of Ibadan, Oyo state.
According to reports, the thugs engaged in a fierce fight with some Igboho’s supporters present in the house, leading to the death of one.
One of Igboho’s aides, Onaolapo Ademola Omiyale, confirmed the incident in a live Facebook broadcast.
According to Omiyale, the armed thugs stormed the residence at about 3pm on Saturday, adding that the attack was aimed at those supporting the embattled yoruba activist.
“Soka Junction, Sanyo, Academy, Oremeji is currently under attack, they are attacking anyone wearing Yoruba Nation Vest and Igboho’s face caps,” he said.
Meanwhile, the incident has not yet been confirmed by the Oyo state police command.
The attack is coming amid the continued detention of Igboho in Benin Republic.
Recall that Igboho was arrested at Cardinal Bernardin International Airport, Cotonou, while on his way to Germany in July, 2021. The activist was arrested shortly after his soka residence was invaded by the operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS). He has since been facing trial at a court in Benin.
