On Tuesday, Chief Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, paid a courtesy visit to two prominent Yoruba monarchs, the Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Akeem Owoade, and the Olugbon of Orile Igbon, Oba Francis Olushola Alao.
It is worth recalling that the Department of State Services (DSS) raided his home in Ibadan, Oyo State, on July 1, 2021. The action forced him to flee to the Benin Republic before going into exile in Germany.
Returning to Nigeria, Igboho begged President Bola Tinubu to remove his name from the watch list created by former President Muhammadu Buhari.
Lamenting before the Olugbon of Orile Igbon, Igboho said, “What have I done to justify my being declared wanted by the Buhari administration? I am not a criminal and should not be treated as such.
“But for the assurance given by Olugbon, I wouldn’t have been able to make this trip. I couldn’t come to Nigeria, let alone sleep in my house in Ibadan.
“I couldn’t access any of my bank accounts just because I am defending the interest of Yorubaland.
“I am here to seek the intervention of Oba Olugbon on this matter. I know he is in a position to appeal to the Federal Government to rescind the decision on my being declared wanted,” he said.
Continuing, Igboho said he had raised the same issue with the Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Akeem Abimbola Owoade I, adding that he’s tired of life in exile.
“I have raised the same matter with Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Akeem Owoade. I have been to his palace. I am tired of staying in exile,” he stressed.
