I Was Not Arrested, Says Igboho

.Weapons Paraded By DSS Not Mine

IYoruba activist , Chief Sunday Adeyemo aka Sunday Igboho, has described the news of his arrest as a falsehood.

Igboho said on Friday night that he was not arrested by security agents and he was in his residence in Ibadan.

Igboho said this at around 11:50pm in a voice message played during a live programme on Facebook by his media aide, Olayomi Koiki.

There were several reports by different online media that Igboho was arrested at around 1:pm on Friday at Sat Guru Mahara ji where he was hiding.

The report said he was taken to Abuja immediately.

But Igboho while speaking in a very brief recorded message debunked the claims.

He said, ” I thank you all my supporters. Today is July 2, 2021 and I heard that they ( security agents) have arrested me at Guru Maharaji, It is a lie. I am in my house in Ibadan.”

Earlier, Igboho had in a statement issued by Koiki said the weapons paraded by the DSS in Abuja on Thursday do not belong to him.

He said the government either planted the weapons in his house or brought from the DSS armoury to implicate him.

He said President Muhammadu Buhari’s government was after him because he was considered a threat to the “Fulanisation agenda.”

Igboho said, “Nigerians and the international community should please be aware that the security operatives that invaded my home either planted the ammunitions being paraded in the media in my home or harvest them from their armoury to frame me.

“The arms paraded are not mine, they are government magic. I protect myself with traditional powers, not with guns.

“Federal Government framed me up and the sequence of events brings the truth bare. Why would the security agents invade my home at night and destroy my surveillance cameras before carrying out their operation if not that they had an ulterior motive?

” In this modern age of technological advancement, why did the security operatives not put on body cameras to record their activities from the point of entry to their time of exit? Their action is a testament that the Buhari regime is incurable of using desperate approach to silence peaceful social interventions.”

He said the Presidency wanted to forcefully silence him after several attempts they allegedly made to implicate him failed.

He said, “The presidency’s serial antics and desperation to acquire people’s ancestral lands across Nigeria for foreign Fulani herdsmen because they share ethnicity and occupation with the President is well known to Nigerians and the international community. I am being seen as a threat to the Fulanization agenda in the South-West, hence the desperation to soil my name.”
