Yoruba Nation activist Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, has sued the Aare Onakakanfo of Yorubaland, Iba Gani Adams, for allegedly defaming his character.

This was seen in a court process filed by Igboho’s lawyers led by J. A. Sanusi.

The court document on Wednesday shows the suit was filed at the Oyo State High Court in Ibadan.

The separatist leader prayed that the court should award a compensation of N500 million against Gani Adams for the alleged defamatory statements against him.

Among others, Igboho prayed for an order of the court “for the payment of exemplary and aggravated damages in the sum of Five Hundred Million Naira (N500,000,000.00) in favour of the Claimant for defamation of the person of the Claimant by the Defendant. Cost of litigation put at the sum of Ten Million Naira (N10,000,000.00)”.

Igboho said that Gani Adams accused him of being a serial killer and assassin for top politicians, including President Bola Tinubu, in an audio conversation in 2021.

Igboho denied the allegations and urged the court to declare the content of the audio clip as slanderous against his character.



Igboho said it is “unlawful, inappropriate and inexcusable for the Defendant to defame, disparage and put to disrepute the character and reputation of the Claimant in an audio clip published on all new media platforms, including YouTube, in a publication that took place between the Defendant and a third party, Mr Nuru Banjo, sometime in November 2021 or thereabout.”

Igboho also prayed for an order of the court “directing the Defendant to engage all new media platforms, including YouTube, to take down the slanderous, libellous and defamatory content against the Claimant as said by the Defendant to a third party, Mr Nuru Banjo, from their various new media platforms.”

It asked the court to direct “the Defendant to tender an unreserved apology to the Claimant in five National Newspapers in Nigeria over defamatory content against the Claimant by the Defendant who has been published on all new media platforms, including YouTube”.

In addition, Igboho asked for an “order of perpetual injunction restraining the Defendant, his agent, privies or assigns from further scandalizing, assaulting, embarrassing, degrading or defaming the person of the Claimant.”

igboho? Who is he? Is he related to king Kong in anyway?

Different strokes to different folks. I really don't see much difference between Igboho and kanu because both are agitating for the liberation of their people. Their people love them so much.

I hate defamation and character assassination. I'm always of the opinion that any perceived defamation should pursue redress in a competent court of law.

Why is Igboho free and Nnamdi Kanu is incarcerated?

He's a family friend to Nnamdi kanu

When I hear them beating drum of war, I simply go and sleep

In life, you have to be WISE and not FOOLISH and GREEDY. You have to know when to walk, when to stand and when to run.

Had Peter Obi remained humble and contested along side Atiku, he would have been Vice President and there wouldn't have been any reason why Atiku wouldn't support him 100% to be President, his successor as long as he maintains being humble and loyal.

Don't blame Igboho for being a WISE man who knows when to make his moves.

Read through before you comment please, you would be able to see clearly what Nigeria escaped. Lest we forget:

Sunday would forever be remembered as the the Nigerian Youth that Manned-up and restored the Courage of all indigenous Nigerians just when all hopes seemed to have been lost during the height of the Draconian Reign of Buhari and his blood-thirsty brothers that had no iota of value for Lives of indigenous Nigerians. Igboho was helpful to all Yorubas, in fact to all Nigerians. Buhari's 8 Years was an unprecedented Reign of Terror that all Nigerians must Pray hard that should never again be experienced in the History of this Great Country. Wives was rapped by the AK47 brandishing herdsmen right in from of their Husbands, heavily Pregnant Women were sliced open right before their families and the unborn baby dashed against rocks, hands and legs of Farmers were brutally cut of without slightest Provocation, etc. I can attach Gory Pictures if I would be allowed by Mods.

Deeply intelligent observers knew their game plan right from when all Nigerians were Ordered by the Fualni IG that was in Power then that all should submit their legally owned registered Guns and Weapons. People that were familiar with the fact that Hitler gave exact same Command to render the Populace completely Defenseless before he unleashed his Nazi Force on them, knew that a Sinister motive was in the cooking. Do you remember the ferocity, satanic effrontery and determination with which Buhari was pushing Nigerians and Lawmakers to Approve the RUGA Law that was to give Fulanis imported from various Countries massive Forest Lands (equal to Big Towns) in all the 36 States with which they were to build their own Towns/Capitals with our own Tax-generated Money for building their Hospitals, Police Stations and other Amenities being penciled down already (We all know that by their Nature, they would ultimately spread out from there to kill indigenous Kings and install their own as Emirs that would Enslave all States of Nigeria). The horrible audacious Rate of their Killings accros the Nation then made everybody including the Lawmakers so afraid that they were very ready to Approve the RUGA Law under duress and daily palpable fear that was so thick in the Air all over Nigeria. No single Senator was able to speak against it because they know that heavily Armed Fulani Herdsmen would soon doublecross them on Journey and.... A whole Federal Prison close to Presidencial Palace was rattled by Buharis boys that went to set their fellows Free while Police and Military looking the other way. Under such Government, who would have spoken against such evil Plan as RUGA. Not like now that some irredeemably impossed self-Deafness, Dumbness and Blindness on themselves during Buhari era have suddenly found their Voice to criticize Tinubu, nobody dare say pim against Buhari in his heydays because what would follow was automatic.

Hope and Courage was only restored when Sunday Igboho gallanty and fearlessly went with his Boys to Oke-iho Shaki side of Oyo to face the Killer Fulanis who were Armed-to-Teeth with latest Sophisticated Weapons and AK 47s that even American and Russian Soldiers would never dare to face without being that much equally-Armed.
For the first time since they started their rain of Terror unabated, Buharis must have pee on himself when he heard that his boys heavily rained Bullets on Sunday Igboho but it refused to penetrate him. In fact, Sunday collected their guns like small Children and tied them like Chickens after beating them blue-black, he arrested the Fualnis that were already trying to start "Sambisa Forest" and "Ilorin-like" Dominion over Okeho People then, and handed them over to Police. It was this completely unexpected Surprise that gave the Lawmakers boldness to Purse and put on hold the Passage of the RUGA Law. As Sunday's Action opened their eyes to See that AK47 that the Terrorists worship and were using to put Fear into them is not GOD! Even IPOB had already lost their Voice back then due to most Brutal Expansion (shielded by Python Dance that you know) of the Government-backed Killer Herders into their Igbo Territories.

Don't forget so many Nigerians flee from Eastern Part to Cameroon, from Northern Part flee Cowardly to Niger and so many Yorubas were already Fleeing to Benin Republic, Ghana, etc cowardly leaving their Ancestral Fatherland for Easy takeover by the Fulanis. Nigeria was already a Conquered Fulani place for then just for their taken. It was that singular Action of Shocking Boldness that Sunday Igboho carried out that Revived the Courage and Hope of indigenous Nigerians nationwide. Truth be told, Sunday Igboho deserves a high-towering Statue in every State of Nigeria.

The evil Cabals were completely taken by surprise and shocked that such indegenous Nigerian exists and knowing that if they don't deal with him first (he would Strengthen too many against them) their satanic plan would forever fail. Sunday Igboho was raising Strong-minded Yorubas and Nigerians that would start RESISTING the Fualni planned Ancestral "FatherLand stealing and irreversible Takover" He Demystified the AK47 brandishing Fulanis. So, the Cabal focused on killing him (unlike Kanu that they only arrested) as you later knew, but CREATOR of Humanity preserved Sunday Igboho's Life. All Thanks to The SOURCE and PRESERVER all Life.

.

Gani Adams believe in one Nigeria but igboho believes in Yoruba nation like Nnamdi kanu that believes in igbo nation . Nigeria can never be one nation . All these pretense about being one nation is just a pretense because of Niger delta oil but Nigeria will eventually break up . The Shameful legacy Britain created in Nigeria continues to reverberate more than 100 years after. I wonder if a colonial master had forced same racist britain together as one country with Germany or France that have nothing in common with them, the kind of backwardness and bloodshed from there would have left Britain almost a third world country like you find in Eastern Europe…Shame on that lunatic lord lunatic lord lugard and British government, royal families for joining by force people who do not want to be one nation

MrProlific95:

Nnmadi kanu is a threat to the unity of Nigeria while igboho was just a threat to the kinsmen of the then president....if nnmadi kanu was pounded upon like they did to igboho kanu would have no more existence...so let kanu enjoy his incarceration
