The Nigerian Army has reacted to the attack on the residence of Yoruba Nation Agitator, Chief Sunday Adeyemo also known as Sunday Igboho in Ibadan, Oyo state capital.
The spokesman of the Nigerian Army, Onyema Nwachukwu, absolved the Army of any involvement in the attack, stating that the Army is not aware of the incident.
WITHIN NIGERIA had earlier reported that the Soka Ibadan residence of Igboho came under attack around 1am. It was reported that gunmen allegedly came in military camouflage to his residence.
Igboho, who explained that he was in the house when the attack happened, said “I just heard plenty bullet in my compound and gunshot in front of my house. They were shouting Sunday Igboho come out, we are DSS, we are soldiers, come out!
“So I peeped through the window, and I saw them DSS uniform, and soldiers, so I was surprised because I didn’t kill anyone nor fight with anybody, what I’m doing is to fight for me people.”
Nwachukwu, who distanced the Army from the attack told newsmen that “There’s nothing like that, I don’t have that information. Soldiers did not carry out an attack on Igboho.”
