Former President Muhammadu Buhari, has been accused of so many things, but Yoruba Nation activist, Sunday Adeyemo, widely known as Igboho, is now adding attempted assassination to the long list.
The prominent freedom fighter made his way back to the country on Thursday, just in time for his mother’s funeral, which is set to take place in Saki, Oyo State.
He has attributed his return to Nigeria to divine intervention.
His return sparked significant attention, given his high-profile status as an advocate for Yoruba autonomy.
His previous encounters with Nigerian security agencies also keeps him in the spotlight.
The Threats
Igboho, on Friday, revealed that he had faced threats to his life.
He alleged that President Buhari had ordered the Department of State Services (DSS) and military personnel to assassinate him at his residence.
He made the claim while addressing his supporters in Oyo State in the Yoruba language.
According to him, his activism, specifically, his vocal opposition to the killing of farmers by Fulani herders in the Southwest, was the reason behind the alleged assassination attempt.
The Power Of God
He said: “Buhari sent his soldiers and DSS to arrest me in my house because I said Yorubas are not slaves to Fulanis, they can’t suppress us in our father’s land.
