Sunday Adeyemi, populary known as Sunday Igboho, the Yoruba ethnic warlord, on Monday, claimed soldiers invaded his Ibadan residence in a move to arrest him and his supporters.

Igboho, disclosed this through his spokesperson, Olayomi Koiki, in a live Facebook broadcast at the car park of the activist’s residence.

Mr Koiki, claimed soldiers invaded Mr Igboho’s residence at around 2 am Monday morning but that they were being resisted.

Gunshots could be heard intermittently in the background as Mr Koiki spoke. He claimed soldiers were doing the shooting but that could not be independently confirmed.

“We are more than capable of securing ourselves, we have chased them far from here,” Mr Koiki said in the video. “I am sure you can hear gunshots. That is them shooting from afar, we cannot be intimidated because we are fully prepared and ready for them.

“By tomorrow morning, I am sure the government would come with false press statements, that it was a set of unknown soldiers, that was the same tactic they used to attack Fela’s mother. They equally used it during #EndSARS.

“They brought us a letter sometimes ago but we rejected them because the letter was what they used to kill Dele Giwa. We have chosen to be peaceful only for them to keep looking for our trouble which we won’t hesitate to give to them”, he said.
