Sunday Igboho insists Lagos rally would hold tomorrow despite being declared wanted

Yoruba Nation agitator, Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, has insisted that the Yoruba Nation rally that his group scheduled for Saturday, June 3 in Lagos state would go ahead as planned.

This is despite being declared wanted by the Department of State Services (DSS).

He was declared wanted after some of his men were arrested during a raid on his residence at Soka in Ibadan Oyo State on Thursday, July 1st in an attempt to arrest him.

Two people were killed and others abducted during the raid as the secret police vowed to track down and arrest Igboho.

SSS spokesman, Peter Afunanya, at a press briefing confirmed that the officials were present at the activist’s house and alleged that illegal arms including seven AK-47 rifles and thousands of ammunition were recovered from the building.

Sunday Igboho in a Facebook live broadcast, Igboho, who spoke through his media aide, Olayomi Koiki, said the rally will hold.

“I can still confirm officially that the Lagos rally in as much as whatever news or rumours you’ve been listening to from different outlets, will go as planned.

“The 3rd of July Mega rally will go as planned. All arrangements for the rally has been planned and nothing has changed.

“I have spoken to the organisers, nothing has changed so far. 3rd of July from exactly 9:00 am in the morning. The whole arrangement and planning are going on,” the activist said.

The Police had warned Igboho to steer clear of Lagos, saying hoodlums were plotting to hijack the rally.
