FBI busts Colorado Springs Mayor Yemi Mobolade for plotting racist attack on himself to win election

The FBI has arrested Colorado Springs Mayor Yemi Mobolade for allegedly plotting a racist attack on himself to win the election.

The latest development has also led the FBI to refer Mr Mobolade for prosecution for making false statements related to a hate crime hoax intended to boost his candidacy, The Daily Wire reports.

On November 12, the acting U.S. attorney for the District of Colorado announced that three ers of Mr Mobolade had been charged with writing the n-word on one of his campaign signs and erecting a burning cross in front of it.

The individuals charged are Derrick Bernard Jr., Ashley Blackcloud, and Deanna West.

These ers were reportedly sending videos of the spectacle to the media to rally Black voter turnout for Mr Mobolade, an African immigrant.

Their actions were allegedly intended to galvanise for Mr Mobolade during the mayoral runoff election against Wayne Williams.

Mr Mobolade, a left-wing candidate, went on to defeat a white Republican in a closely fought election in the conservative-leaning city.

According to The Daily Wire, FBI investigators obtained communications showing that the now-mayor was in close with the lead suspect, Mr Bernard, before, during, and after the incident.

Mr Mobolade was interviewed twice to determine his knowledge of the hoax, during which he strenuously denied having with Mr Bernard.

Following his conduct during the interviews, the FBI referred the now-mayor to the Department of Justice for charges related to making false statements to federal investigators.

FBI officials also claimed there were dozens of messages exchanged between Mr Bernard and the now-mayor.


Mr Bernard is a career criminal who was sentenced to 32 months in prison in 2018. He allegedly attempted to kill two police officers and has since been convicted of an unrelated murder of a rapper who disrespected him.

During the interviews, officials noted that Mr Mobolade scrolled through his phone as a memory aide. However, they stated that “he was literally skipping over text messages,” apparently unaware that the bureau had already obtained them from other sources.

An official reportedly said, "The initial response from the Department of Justice was, 'We can’t indict the first Black mayor of Colorado Springs.' In my experience, if anyone else had been in that position, they would have been charged with lying to a federal agent."

The alleged hate crime occurred in 2023, between an April 4 general election and a May runoff election that was scheduled because the general election results were so close.

Another Yoruba man caught in the act of deception to stir up dissension in an otherwise peaceful community just for his own political gain.
In the same vein, all those pretending to be who they're not to deceive others while attacking Igbos will meet their painful end eventually.

Yoruba man has taken this thier divide mad rule mentality to America

Philosophical fallacy everywhere

An action of one is pinned on 30million others. There isnt anything smart about that

Ordinary Aboki like you sef dey talk

But why is his head flat?

His head is flat because he hit it on a hard rock while dodging the slap of a leopard that would otherwise have given him the traditional Yoruba tribal mark as such in the picture below. His name is Mr. Mobolade and everyone know which people bear such a name.

This one also has a flat head. After hitting his head and getting a flat head, he still got the slaps from a leopard unfortunately.

Coming from a tribe, whose greatest person of all time was one coward guy that fled in skirt to Abidjan after sacrificing 3million of his people during a needless war



We no even see you. You must always talk to just to feel relevant

They do the same things over here in the Homeland
There are thousand of youba opening s and claiming to be other Nationality to attack people,I even saw one open an to claim South African on X but when you read Yoruba grammar you can easily know it’s them,they always have the H factor even in their writings

This is exactly Tinubu's method. That's why I'm afraid of this controversial proposed tax reform bill they might seem interesting to the public but shrouded with secrecy. It's really hard to trust this istration of propaganda they don't care how Nigerians are fairing just that their personal interest

🥴 It is still RACISM lol 😂😂😂😂😂😂 take a look at Trump's criminal records and convictions and numerous inciteful racial bigotry swept under IMMUNITY CLAUSE. Trump even had to lie about "people eating dogs and cats" of course referring to people of color.

Note, Obama is able to be America's president because his mother is CAUCASIAN ....a white woman.

Little do you wonder why Kemi Bandenoch is playing her game the way she is playing it in a conservative white party.

Ronu and FRaud+deception na 5&6...these are some of their greatest asset; home and abroad!

Possibly taking clue from baba emilokan and his fake Bishops,,,,


My only anger now is that FBI have revealed some secrets regarding supposed private comm.

Here on nairaland they are everywhere. Some of them have as much as 50 monikers to themselves, designed for different task...some for begging, some for impersonating or disguising as though from other region, some for swaying public opinion etc..... I don't know why they like forging identities, documents, public opinion.....

Mumu if Trump planned his own shooting, don't you think the democrats would have exposed it?

The bullet was too near his head to be planned.

Wuna don carry this your tribalism as political tool reach there?

Looking forward to when we'll start locking up Nigerian politicians for using religion and tribe as political tools. Oh wait. They're not breaking any law, just playing the game how it has always been played.

You can do things like this in Nigeria and get away with it. In fact you'll be hailed as the most politically sophisticated person(s).

It is very dumb to try this shit in America. Very very dumb.

I'm not surprised. He just exported tribal bigot to US.

Ah ha
