Yoruba nation freedom fighter, Sunday Igboho, real name Sunday Adeyemo,, has made a sterling allegation that the forceful invasion of his private residence by operatives of the Department of State Services, DSS was a clear ploy to terminate him.
JESNews recalls that in 2021 that the outspoken ethnic activist was declared wanted after confronting Fulani herders accused of killing farmers in the South-West, as well as for championing the Yoruba Nation agitation.
Subsequently, on July 1, 2021, DSS operatives stormed his Ibadan residence in Oyo State, in an operation to arrest him.
During the raid, tIgboho escaped and fled to Benin Republic, where he was arrested at the airport while attempting to travel to Germany. He subsequently faced trial there before being released following interventions by Nigerian leaders.
He later claimed that the DSS officials shot at him.multiple times tduring the invasion but that divine intervention saved his life.
Speaking at the palace of the Olowo of Owo, Oba Ajibade Gbadegesin Ogunoye III, he said: “When my house was invaded, they wanted to kill me but failed. Some said my intestines were shattered, others said my leg was broken, but there was nothing of such.
“They fired guns at me very well, but the prayers of you, my fathers, on me were answered.”
