UPDATED: Five Killed, Wives, Others Taken Away As DSS, Soldiers Attack Sunday Igboho’s Residence (Photos)
According to his spokesman, Olayomi Koiki, two people were slain in an early morning attack on the apartment of Yoruba rights activist Sunday Adeyemo, also known as Sunday Igboho, in the Soka neighborhood of Ibadan, Oyo State.
“Right now, the situation is dire. Two Yoruba boys were murdered in Chief Sunday Igboho’s home. The military has carried away the bodies of the two people who died. “We have no idea where they were taken,” the aide stated in a Facebook Live video.
The house was attacked around 1 a.m. on Thursday, according to Koiki, who also claimed the attackers were soldiers.
“I can affirm that the soldiers who arrived are Nigerian Army. “More than a hundred soldiers arrived,” Koiki claimed.
“The scene is highly active,” he continued, “as more security operatives in perhaps seven Nigerian Army patrol trucks have arrived.”
“He (Sunday Igboho) is currently safe,” the spokesman stated.

During the invasion, our correspondent learned that the cars and walls of the house were riddled with gunshots.
The attackers, who were alleged to be dressed in military camouflage, were said to have whisked away some of the house’s residents.
The Police Public Relations Officer in Oyo State, Adewale Osifeso, when contacted, said he also heard about the invasion but he would find out to know what happened.
The reported attack is coming hours to a planned rally for the secession of ‘Yoruba Nation’ in Lagos State. Igboho has been going across the South-West geopolitical zone to crusade his secessionist campaign, citing injustice meted out to the people of the region as well as worsening insecurity as reasons for his agitation.
Thursday attack is one of the many reported attacks on Igboho and his Ibadan residence since January 2021 when he issued a seven-day ultimatum to killer herders in the Ibarapa area of Oyo State.
On January 26, 2021, some faceless hoodlums reportedly attacked the Soka residence of Igboho also in Ibadan and gutted the house.
NEWS DIRECT had also earlier reported that pandemonium broke out on February 26, 2021 along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway when Igboho and his supporters were on their way to meet with 93-year-old Afenifere chieftain, Ayo Adebanjo.
In a viral video, a shirtless Igboho was seen with his men daring security operatives and throwing expletives at the operatives identified as men of the Department of State Services but the attempt failed and the DSS subsequently denied the attempted arrest.
Presidential spokesman, Garba Shehu, had also said the then Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, ordered the arrest of the rights activist but many Nigerians had condemned such move, insisting that the security agencies should instead summon popular Islamic scholar, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, who has been seen hobnobbing with bandits in the forests of Zamfara and Niger States of late.
