Popular Yoruba freedom campaigner; Sunday Adeyemo commonly known as Sunday Igboho has rejected invite from the Nigerian Police Force Headquarters in Abuja.
In a live video chat, the spokesperson to Mr. Adeyemo, Olayomi Koiki revealed that the Inspector-General of Police tried to invite his principal to Abuja. According to Koiki, six police officers came to Chief Sunday Igboho’s house with a letter from IGP.
Koiki claimed that their rejection of the letter was informed by some prior experiences with letters in the country. According to him, a letter bomb was also sent to Dele Giwa in 1986 which cost him his life when he opened it.
According to him, some months ago, his house was razed by some unknown arsonists and he was attacked by some men in uniform on his way to Lagos, few weeks ago.
He stated further that Sunday Igboho’s mother’s house was attacked by some suspected herdsmen few weeks ago, they also caught some men in military uniform surveying his house, while on Thursday, some police officers stormed his house to give him a letter.
Koiki came to the conclusion that the recent incidences informed Sunday Igboho’s decision of rejecting the invite from the Inspector-General of Police, saying that unless the Police IGP himself invites him publicly so everyone knows what’s going on.
However, users reacting online have warned Sunday Igboho not to honour the invitation.
