Nigeria’s former aviation minister, Femi Fani-Kayode has warned the Nigerian government to bury the idea of eliminating the Yoruba activist, Sunday ’Igboho’ Adeyemo.
Fani-Kayode was reacting following the reports that men of the Nigerian military stormed Igboho’s resident in the wee hours of Monday.
In live broadcasts on Facebook, Mr Olayomi Koiki said the “enemies of progress” who arrived at Mr Igboho’s “fortified” residence at Soka, Ibadan, about 2:00 a.m., tried to penetrate the building but failed.
With gunshot sound in the background, he alleged the federal government collaborated with the Oyo government for the attack to capture the activist.
“There is nothing more than the federal government of Nigeria that have again done the best of what they know to do best, threatening, trying to kill, kidnap, and that is what has happened in the residence of Chief Sunday Igboho’s house.
“Just before 2 o’clock in the morning, there was a couple of gunshots. When I say couple of them, it’s quite a lot of them,” he said while maintaining that Mr Igboho and his family were in good health,” Mr Koiki claimed.
However, reacting over the reports, Chief Femi in a twitter post said Igboho “is an inspiration, pride& joy to millions of Yoruba people. Noting that killing ‘him will lead to chaos, carnage& catastrophy.
He said;
“Chief Sunday Igboho Osha represents the heart, soul & spirit of Oduduwa today. His name is synonymous with courage, strength, discipline & fortitude. He fears none & bows to none. He is an inspiration, pride& joy to millions. Killing him will lead to chaos, carnage & catastrophy.
