Yoruba Nation campaigner, Sunday Adeyemo, widely known as Sunday Igboho, has narrated how he avoided arrest during the Department of State Services (DSS) operation on his Ibadan residence in July 2021, insisting that he remained inside the house throughout the raid.

Speaking on Monday while hosting a group of Muslim clerics at his residence in Ibadan, Igboho said the security operatives combed the house in search of him but were unable to locate him.

He further alleged that the operatives mistook a cat for him and later brought in what he described as a “fake herbalist” to perform rituals in an attempt to discover his whereabouts.

According to him, he stayed inside the residence from the moment the operation began until the DSS team departed.

“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.
