Popular non state actor, Sunday Adeyemo, more known as Sunday Igboho, has berated the Nigerian government for instigating his attempted arrest and advised that they go after Boko Haram leader, Ibrahim Shekau, and Islamic cleric, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, who has been holding meetings with bandits, Njenje Media News reports.
It would be recalled that reports were rife that a team of policemen, soldiers and Department of State Services officers reportedly attempted to arrest him along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway but failed in their violent attempt to arrest Igboho.
The PUNCH newspaper quoted Igboho as saying that he was never invited by the security forces before an attempt was made to arrest him.
When asked if he would honour a police invitation, Igboho said, “Go and ask them to invite Gumi and Shekau first before disturbing me. Let them face the bandits instead.”
Igboho also said he would not run away, adding that he had returned to his base in Ibadan.
When asked if he would go into hiding, he said, “What for? I am in the neighbourhood. I cannot run.”
Igboho also revealed that his bank account was initially frozen but the restriction was lifted recently.
The self acclaimed activist, who has been in the news for serving a quit notice on Fulani herdsmen in some parts of the South-West, said he had done nothing wrong but fight for the rights of his people.
