He said, ‘ I don’t have any idea of what you said ( attack on Sunday Igboho’s house).”

The residence was attacked in the very early hours of Thursday and Igboho’s aides and other occupants of the house alleged that the house was invaded by soldiers and DSS who they said came to eliminate the Yoruba Nation agitator.

Oladokun, who hailed Igboho for coming to the rescue of Yoruba people from the.oppression of criminal hersdmen, said the government was after him for standing up for his people.

He said, ” This is an attack on the Yoruba people. With this it is obvious that every Yoruba son and daughter has to stand up and fight for our freedom.

” We cannot continue to be living as slaves to foreigners in our land. Those who are ready to continue to be slaves to.foreign invaders should continue.”
