* Spokesman accuses FG, Gov Seyi Makinde

* Insists Igboho is capable to secure himself, says we chased them away

A house belonging to Sunday Igboho, a prominent Yoruba activist and headliner of the Oodua Republic, at Soka in Ibadan, Oyo State, was allegedly attacked by armed men in Nigeria’s Army Uniform.

Starnews Nigeria reports that Igboho’s spokesman, Olayomi Koiki, said in a live video that the attackers were soldiers of the Nigerian Army.

According to him, in an attempt to arrest the activist, the house was put under siege with a sporadic shooting in the early hours of Monday.

Koiki, while describing the situation as a huge challenge, called on all Yoruba sons and daughters to rise in solidarity and fight for their ‘freedom’.

His said:

“We are more than capable to secure ourselves, we have chased them far from here, I am sure you can hear gunshots. That is them shooting from afar, we cannot be intimidated because we are fully prepared and ready for them.” Koiki stated.

On inquiry, Koiki fingered the Federal government of Nigeria and Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State.

“By tomorrow morning, I am sure the government would come with false press statements, that it was a set of unknown soldiers, that was the same tactic they used to attack Fela’s mother. They equally used it during #EndSARS,” Koiki added.

It could be recalled that Nigeria Police and their counterparts from the Department of State Service (DSS) in February was alleged to have teamed up and reportedly tried to arrest Igboho on the Lagos-Ibadan expressway. But the allegation was denied by both the Police and the DSS, describing it as a fake.
