Yoruba Nation activist, Sunday Adeyemo, also known as Sunday Igboho, has revealed his interest in returning to Nigeria more than two years after he fled the country.
Igboho, who spoke in a viral video, revealed that he would soon be back to his country home in Oyo state, Southwest Nigeria, saying no one would intimidate him any longer.
“I am coming back to Ibadan; I’m originally from Oyo State. I’m coming back home. So, Yorubas should not be afraid and nothing will happen; nobody can make the other person afraid.
My agitation was in place and the question I asked the Nigerian government was in order, and the court has justified my demands. Also, the N20 billion Nigerian government owes me will be paid,” he said in the viral video.
Recall that the activist fled Nigeria about 15 months ago to Cotonou, Benin Republic, following an invasion of his residence by the Department of States Services, DSS.
But the freedom fighter vowed to see to it that Yoruba nation was actually realized.
At Bishop Ajayi Crowther’s annual posthumous birthday celebration in Ibadan, Oyo State, Igboho had given the assurance.
Speaking via Zoom platform, Igboho had said: “I thank you all for your support since the inception of this just cause, and by God’s grace, the Fulani’s herdsmen activities against our people will end in our land. The Yoruba nation will soon be achieved and it will be better than all the nations in the world.
My message to Yoruba people worldwide, who are passionate about the country of their own is not to lose hope. I am more than convinced that we are on our way to freedom. Our agitation is an idea whose time has come. I will come back to Yorubaland soon.”
According to Sahara Reporters, Igboho had recently called on monarchs in the region to convene a meeting and discuss the security situation in the South-West.
He also debunked reports from some quarters that he was no longer interested in the str¥ggle for the Yoruba Nation.
