The Aare Oona Kakanfo of Yorubaland, Aare Gani Adams, has appealed to the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi; and The Alake and Paramount ruler of Egbaland, Oba Adedotun Gbadebo, to assist Yoruba rights activist, Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho.

Adams made the appeal in an exclusive interview with The PUNCH on Wednesday.

After raiding Igboho’s house in Soka, Ibadan, the Department of State Services also asked him to report to its office.

The spokesperson for DSS, Peter Afunaya, had said that seven AK-47 rifles were recovered, alongside pump action guns and 5,000 rounds of ammunition, including other weapons, were recovered when DSS raided Igboho’s house, in Soka, Ibadan, Oyo State around 1:00 a.m. on Thursday.

The secret police also said it killed two persons and arrested 13.

Igboho, who is a promoter of the Yoruba Nation, has gone underground following the invasion, denied the ownership of the arms, and demanded an apology and N500 million damages from DSS.

However, many Yoruba monarchs have been silent on the development, a situation that the Oluwo of Iwo, Oba Adewale Akanbi, attributed to Igboho’s disrespect for some traditional rulers.

Igboho had in the past tackled Ooni and Alake for expressing opposing views to his approach in agitating for Yoruba Nation and fight against herdsmen’s invasion.

But the Yoruba generalissimo appealed to the influential monarchs and South-West governors to intervene in Igboho’s travail, adding that “from my experience, it is difficult to fight the government and win.”

He said, “I appeal to our traditional rulers starting from Ooni, to Alake and other leaders, including our Governors who Sunday had abused and insulted – you know he insulted me too but we need to forgive and help him. We must not allow this to consume him.

“We are appealing to them generally not to allow Sunday Igboho to be consumed. The issue on the ground now is about the interest of the Yoruba Nation. Either you self-determination or not, anything that happens to Sunday Igboho will be a slap to the entire Yoruba race. They should not forget that the issue on the ground is not only the issue of self-determination. It is also about insecurity – that some tribes are determined to overrun our own region.

“If you allow this to consume Sunday Igboho, it will create an advantage for the criminals, who have already invaded our farms and communities to cause a security threat.

“At the same time, I appeal to all agitators that they should not abuse anybody that defer or disagree on self-determination – that believes in the devolution of power. We shouldn’t abuse those who said publicly that they believe in the devolution of power. We should not be enemies.”

Kanu is in already... IGBOHO will him.. is a matter of time.. Gumi will only if the so southern unity ish is really serious..

No sentiments....

God bless you Are,
Yoruba must unite
South must unite
Nigeria must devide

No hope for this generation or the one to come in this country

Nigeria has expired already

But the Yoruba generalissimo appealed to the influential monarchs and South-West governors to intervene in Igboho’s travail, adding that “from my experience, it is difficult to fight the government and win.”

This might just be the ordeal that will change the game and experience.

In 2015 we saw a cow and rebranded him as a dove.... The birds were not fooled though...

Ever wondered why the Birds refused to fly in the hands of the rebranded Cow during Independence day....

Now this Cow in Dove feathers will stop at nothing to make sure both Igboho and Kanu use the same plate to eat watery beans in the prison

Sunday Igboho will deal with DSS severely.

Why not go get him? How many people has Igboho ordered to be killed or how many public buildings had Igboho ordered his followers to burn down? How many soldiers and police had been attacked or killed by Igboho boys? That's the clear difference between Sunday Igboho and Kanu.

BTW,The raid was a complete error. I learnt igboho had a sophisticated cctv which could allow for storage of footages in the cloud and watch all the events as they unfold on his mobile phone and 2 other gadgets. They took the skeleton away while the flesh remained intact. Those DSS made the greatest mistake of their life by allowing politicians to push them to an abyss. I just pity their family because they'd mark their faces.

hmm

Ok

I thought the thug was insulting the Obas, thinking he's so powerful.
Now he's on the run like Namdiot coward Cownu was until he got caged like a monkey that he is.
The federal govt can allow Sunday to go, at least he has not killed police officers like that IPIG terrorist monkey.

E go hard I like this country.

It is only in Nigeria that Police will have abundant water to spray on protesters and the fire service will arrive at a fire scene with an empty tank.

Drama too much... Too many dramas

They must be speechless as well.

B'omode ba n ge igi ni'gbo, agba lo mo ibi to maa wo si.

If you think you're more concerned about Yoruba's well-being than the likes of OBJ, Soyinka, Ooni & other first-class Obas, then you must be in absolute delusion.

May God rest Gbenga Adeboye's soul. If he were alive, undiluted facts would be flowing around by now.

I just want to ask this question for the last time
How urine dey take no say u don reach house ���

BOB .... BASED ON BELIEF

Hmm. I can't recall him calling Igboho to order when he was insulting everyone. If only Igboho, a PDP man, had stuck to just fighting the criminals hiding under herdsmen to attack the farmers, he would have been a hero and probably helped PDP in the SW. He crossed the line when he started insulting the elders including Dr. E.A. Adeboye and even threatening to sack and kill any Yoruba Alaiyeluwa who doesn't his treasonous secession plan.

Issues. It's only a matter of time and use of force will no longer work.
Let the FG address issues from the root

Some of these monarchs have lost their relevancies due to Abuja brown envelopes!

They don't know Sunday Igboho is fighting for them against the Fulani marauders that's gradually bringing their rascalities to South.

They should Sunday Igboho now or cry later!

Hmm
If Ooni was not in of his secession campaign, they can't be calling on him now.
Any body championing secession campaign in any part of the world, should expect govt to fight back, I knew it was only a matter of time, but came earlier than I expected. Maybe his announcement of the Lagos rally prompted govt rapid response, so igboho shouldn't be surprised!
I when Texas wanted to break away from USA, them no gree. Despite Texas was a country before ing the union. So the likes of igboho & kanu should expect govt to fight back. No govt like losing territories all over the world.

Then Boko Haramist and Bandits will be rehabilitated to become president!

Fool ani awùsá pigs should know that Igboho is not just a man...

Take one down and see hundreds rise.

Nice one from Gani

ok we aff hear

Nigeria isn't bound by any stupid constitution, it's bound by 1914 amalgamation! There's a right to self determination! In fact, the southern want back their southern protectorates away from the Northern protectorates! This isn't bound by constitution! Let every Fulani cows sink it into their skulls!

DoggoneDogg:

Take a look at the riffraffs fighting for Igboho. Bunch of illiterate Afonja thugs.

Nnamdi Kanu on the other hand, has US & Canadian lawyers, UK of parliament, ambassadors, high commissioners, journalists, international bureaucrats etc all clamouring for him.

Levels levels abeg.

Says a never do well Fulani cow! Ode go catch him na!
