The Aareonakakanfo of Yorubaland, Gani Adams, on Thursday, warned that the killing of Yoruba rights activist, Sunday Adeyemo, better known as Sunday Igboho could lead to another bloodbath and war akin to the Boko Haram insurgency in the North-East.
Adams who condemned the midnight attack on Igboho’s residence said eight persons were killed in the attack while the house and cars were riddled with bullets.
NewsSpecng gathered that some of the occupants of the house were said to have been whisked away by the invaders who were claimed to have dresses in military camouflage.
He said “The video clip of the attack on Sunday Igboho’s house was a show of death and destruction. About eight people were allegedly killed in the attack, with wanton destruction to his property. The information at my disposal also indicates that the attack was allegedly done by the Nigerian Army in collaboration with foreign terrorists. Imagine Igboho was killed in the attack, it might lead to a raging war. Remember the case of Boko Haram leader, Muhammed Yusuff, that was killed in 2009. The death of Yusuff became Nigeria’s nemesis and Boko Haram has created the most challenging problem in Nigeria till today.
“As far as I am concerned, I don’t support anything that negates the law or anybody that disobeys the law, however, the Federal Government should be able to tolerate other people’s view, by taking into consideration, the rights of every citizen as it is in the constitution. This is what makes democracy thrives,” Adams added.
