The prominent Yoruba Nation activist, Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, has narrated how he escaped from operatives of the Department of State Services during the controversial raid on his Ibadan residence in July 2021.
Igboho said the security operatives failed to arrest him despite surrounding his residence, claiming they mistook a cat for him and even brought in what he described as a “fake herbalist” to perform rituals in an attempt to apprehend him.
Recounting the incident when some Muslim delegations visited his residence in Ibadan on Monday, Igboho said he was inside the house throughout the operation, but the operatives could not find him.
“When they came around 1:30 am. I heard a sound and was inquiring who it was; they started shooting at the room. They heard my voice. When they finally scaled the fence in, they planted a dynamite on the burglary, and everything completely fell apart. That was where they entered. I was naked, but upon hearing their voice, I wore a jean and shirt. One mind was telling me to surrender to them; the other was telling me not to surrender, else I would be killed.
