Sunday Adeyemo, aka, Sunday Igboho, Yoruba Nation activist has demanded the sum of ₦500 million from the President Muhammadu Buhari led Administration over the invasion of his residence in Soka, Ibadan, Oyo State Capital by Security Agents of the Department of State Security, DSS.
The DSS had in the early hours of last week Friday invaded the residence of the Yoruba Activist. Igboho escaped the onslaught, but during an exchange of gun fire, two fatalities were recorded, and about 13 people, including, allegedly, Igboho’s wife were arrested. Igboho who is currently in hiding,, has been declared wanted by the DSS.
However, Igboho’s lawyer, Yomi Alliyu, who wrote on behalf of his client disclosed that the amount would be used to replace his client’s exotic cars which were damaged during the raid.
Igboho’s arrested aides who spoke to journalists after the incident said the men of the secret police allegedly killed two persons and made away with his three million Naira, jewellery, iPhones and other valuables.
The lawyer’s letter titled, *“Illegal, grossly, unconstitutional, invasion of Sunday Igboho’s residence,’’ signed by his lawyer, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, SAN, demanded the sum of N500 million as reparation for damage done by the DSS’ officers.
The money, according to the lawyer, would be used to replace his client’s exotic cars which included Mercedes Benz G-Class and 2019 Lexus car.
He added: “We hereby demand that the Federal Government orders an investigation into the actions of the various security operatives led by DSS that raided Chief Sunday Adeyemo’s house with a view to sanctioning them and release all the innocent people arrested and compensate the families of those murdered.
“Our client should also be paid N500 million as reparation for damage to his exotic cars that include Mercedes Benz G-Class and 2019 Lexus Car. We also demand a public apology.
“No demand to enter was made but rather they shot their way into the house, allegedly killing seven people, though DSS spokesman admitted killing two people which involved an old Imam that used to lead Muslim occupants in prayers and observing Tahjud at the time of the barbaric raid. A lady among the invaders was allegedly shouting, “If you get him, gun him down.” he added.
Despite the attack on Igboho’s residence which forced him to rescind his decision to stage a peaceful Rally on Saturday, July 3rd, 2021, for the succession of the Yoruba from Nigeria, the event held. Protesters stormed the Gani Fawehinmi Park in Ojota, Lagos, and staged a peaceful protest, demanding for a Yoruba Nation.
The protest, however, led to the death of a 14-Year old girl, identified as Jumoke, who was alleged to have been hit by a stray bullet.
The Police denies it fired live bullets during the rally.
