[b]Sunday Adeyemo, a youth leader better known as Sunday
Igboho, has tackled the federal government over the raid on
his residence by the Department of State Services (DSS).
[/
The DSS had raided Igboho’s home in Oyo state in the early
hours of Thursday, and at a media briefing later that day, the
security agency presented arms, ammunition and charms
alleged to have been recovered from the youth leader’s
residence.

However, speaking in a statement issued on Friday by
Olayomi Koiki, his media aide, Igboho denied ownership of
the items said to have been recovered by the DSS .

Igboho also said he hasn’t committed any crime, adding that
his focus has been on ensuring peace in the south-west
region by kicking against “criminal herders”.

“The invasion was done without a search warrant. I was not
invited for questioning/investigation at any government
facility before the invasion,” he said.

“Nigerians and the world at large are aware of my resistance
to the incessant killings, raping and kidnapping of my people
in Southwest Nigeria by armed Fulani herdsmen.

“The failure of President Muhammadu Buhari and his
government to curb the criminal activities of the murderous
herdsmen necessitated my intervention. I ordinarily would not have intervened if government had lived up to its
responsibility of securing the Southwest and Nigeria at large
from the criminal activities of the President’s ethnic men.

“Of public knowledge, my intervention has not led to any loss
of life or bloodshed. My means of curbing criminality is to the chase the criminal Fulani herdsmen out of their hideouts in
company of the people of the affected communities.
“It is because of the foreseen government persecution that
videos of such interventions were transmitted live on social
media. Nigerians, the security operatives, and the presidency
are aware that I have never moved against the peaceful
Fulanis and other tribes living peacefully in the Southwest.
My unjust persecution — for defending my people and
community — is therefore surprising and unwarranted.

“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.”

While condemning the raid on his home, the youth leader
said the federal government should focus its efforts on
addressing insecurity, rather than “intimidating” him.

“Nigerians and the international community should beware
that desperate efforts are being made to force those arrested to make implicating confession statements. I advise the DSS to desist from their unprofessional acts and devote such energy to eradicating insecurity,” he said.

“Nigerians and the international community should please
note that I am a law-abiding citizen without blemish. I advise
President Buhari to, in the interest of Nigerians that voted
him to power, order his henchmen to desist from using
falsehood and unholy tactics to soil my name. Such energy
should be devoted to taming the herdsmen and bandits
freely committing heinous crimes across Nigeria with
impunity because their kinsman is in power.

“Yoruba people would not be demanding for a nation if
government had lived up to its responsibilities. Self-
determination is not a crime and all efforts to silence us and
acquire our ancestral land for local and foreign criminal
herdsmen will fail.

“Many Ken Saro-Wiwa arose after Nigerian government
unjustly executed the non-violent activist. Those that
emerged after him confronted government and almost
brought Nigeria to its knees. I am another Saro-Wiwa.

“Therefore, I advise President Buhari to learn from the
mistake of past governments. I am not Nigeria’s problem and
should not be framed up or intimidated for contributing my
quota to ensure peace reigns in my region and country.”

It is well, may God help us all

99% of Nigerians know this except the brain watched.

Obasanjo, Tinubu, Amaechi, Saraki , Atiku and other top shots that foster this administration on us, I guess you guys are happy. Please God give us the youth the wisdom in how to tackle this issue effective and efficiently, our strength isn't sufficient enough.

Na wa o

Simple truth by S.I
I am the most abused and insulted president in world, but when i leave office you will all remember me for the total freedom you enjoyed under my governmen. By G,E,J
u see! D devil dat u know is beta dan d angel u don't know.

Stop this blame game, we all make mistakes. I was part of those who supported Buhari in 2015 and as you can see, majorities rescinded except Tinubu and the rest who is understood to be protecting their interest like every other Nigerian politicians.

Let focus on the future

Intimidation we condone not

The sooner the South unites against dis cankerworms in power the beta for us all... Wen Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB were complaining about dis early U guys tagged dem wailers and tagged the problem an Igbo problem. Now it has dawned on U all and U are seeing sense in most of the cases he had been making against the govt, it is now a national problem. Anyways atleast now Nnamdi Kanu's rants are becoming justified even though his methods may not b lauded

Ogun,Orunmila dey behind u igboho

Dunce!

Saying what he cannot write!

You are a threat to Nigeria`s unity and would be treated as one.

Buhari is just to calm. Times like this will make you miss Abacha and Babangida.

It's a pity that afonjaz will rather throw their son under a bus just for crumbs coming from their master's table than emancipate themselves from slavery. This was the same thing they did to Abiola when he needed them the most.

Ok

This government is the worst to ever answer the name of a democratic government. Buhari has failed Nigerians through and through.

I see Yoruba people no longer mock Nnamdi Kanu after the same treatment metted out on Kanu has boomerang against them ..

I fear for the life of Sunday Igboho if he's still in Nigeria .

Ok, Thanks.

Enough of this please. Who defines the South? The same Amaechi? Tinubu? Fashola and other politicians who stood by this old man ?

The earlier the youth participate actively in politics the better for us.

Let there be many youth parties, let’s support the young folks. None of them must be related to those old men who let us here.

The youths don't have financial muscle to wrestle power from those old rogues.

Buhari is irresponsible and hypocritical

Well, that’s the problem again. We have monetized politics so bad that it’s all about money.

The people always vote, it’s not their money that do the voting for them it’s still human being.

The likes of Banji W tried to show us that it can be done without having the billions but everybody ignored them.

If the youths are ready, the number is on their side. Flood the ballot with lots of parties and make them obsolete, collect their money and still not vote for them. It’s that simple!
