A few hours after its operatives raided the Ibadan, Oyo State, home of self-professed Yoruba freedom fighter, Chief Sunday Adeyemo aka Sunday Igboho, the Department of State Services (DSS) on Thursday evening declared the activist wanted for alleged illegal possession of seven AK-47 rifles and 5,000 rounds of ammunition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The DSS<\/a> spokesman, Dr. Peter Afunanya, who disclosed this at a media briefing in Abuja, said the agency operatives raided Igboho\u2019s home following intelligence reports that he had stockpiled arms in the place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He added that 13 supporters of the activist including one woman were arrested for attacking the DSS operatives during the raid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those arrested were Abdulateef Ofeyagbe, Amoda Babatunde aka Lady K, Tajudeen Erinoye, Diakola Ademola, Abideen Shittu and Jamiu Noah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Others were \u2013 Ayobami Donald, Adelabe Usman, Oluwafelumi Kunle, Raji Kazeem, Taiwo Opeyemi and Bamidele Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The DSS spokesman said Igboho and his group had in their campaign for self-determination become well-armed and determined to undermine public order in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Afunanya said: \u201cIn the early hours (about 0134 hours) of today, 1st July, 2021, a joint team of security operatives raided the residence of Sunday Adeniyi Adeyemo a.k.a. SUNDAY IGBOHO at Soka, Ibadan, Oyo State.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis was based on intelligence that he had stockpiled arms in the place. On approach to the residence, the team came under heavy gun attack by nine men, suspected to be IGBOHO\u2019s guards. Six of them were armed with an AK-47 gun and Three others, with Pump-Action rifles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c In the course of the exchange, two of IGBOHO\u2019s armed men were gunned down while the rest were subdued and arrested. Only one operative who was shot by the assailants on his right hand sustained injury. He has however received medical attention and is very stable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAfterwards, the team procedurally searched the house and subsequently recovered the following among others:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7 Seven AK-47 assault rifles;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7 Three Pump Action guns;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7 30 fully charged AK-47 magazines;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7 5,000 rounds of 7.62mm ammunition;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7 Five cutlasses, one Jackknife, one Pen Knife<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7 Two Pistol holsters;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7 One binoculars<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7 A wallet containing Five US Dollars in one Dollar denomination; local and international driver\u2019s licences in his name, ATM cards and a German residence permit No. YO2N6K1NY bearing his name;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7 Two whistles;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7 Five Cartridges;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7 18 Walkie-Talkies;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7 Three Voodoo charm jackets\/traditional body armour;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7 Two Laptops, one Toshiba and one Compaq;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7 His International Passport and those of many others (as displayed here).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAside from the items recovered from the building, about 13 suspects including 12 males and one female were arrested and brought to Abuja. While one suspect is being profiled, the other 12 paraded here are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

i. Abdulateef OFEYAGBE<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ii. Amoda BABATUNDE aka Lady K (female)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

iii. Tajudeen ERINOYEN<\/p>\n\n\n\n

iv. Diakola ADEMOLA<\/p>\n\n\n\n

v. Abideen SHITTU<\/p>\n\n\n\n

vi. Jamiu NOAH<\/p>\n\n\n\n

vii. Ayobami DONALD<\/p>\n\n\n\n

viii. Adelabe USMAN<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ix. Oluwafelumi KUNLE<\/p>\n\n\n\n

x. Raji KAZEEM<\/p>\n\n\n\n

xi. Taiwo OPEYEMI and<\/p>\n\n\n\n

xii. Bamidele SUNDAY.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is to inform Nigerians and the world that Sunday IGBOHO and his group, in the guise of campaign for self-determination, have become well-armed and determined to undermine public order. Thus, the arrests and seizures are, no doubt, a confirmation of a grand plan by IGBOHO and his cohorts to wage a violent insurrection against the Nigerian State.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c Alert foreign missions and licencing authorities within and outside Nigeria about this development and the possibility that IGBOHO could declare some of his personal permit and identity cards missing in order to seek their replacement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cApprise stakeholders that the Five (5) AK-47 assault rifles recovered from the building are suspected to be those collected by IGBOHO\u2019s men from Nigerian Customs and Immigration personnel at Idi Iroko, Ogun State.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe gun duel which lasted for an hour offered IGBOHO the chance to escape. Sunday ADEYEMO aka Sunday IGBOHO is now on the run. IGBOHO may run as far as he can. He may hide as long as he wants. He might have attacked security operatives as his strength carried him. But this will be the end of his shenanigans. Soon, he will not have a hiding place. His strength will sure fail him. And the law will catch up with him. The law may be slow. But it will be steady.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cConsequently, ADEYEMO\/IGBOHO is advised to turn himself in to the nearest security agency. Those cheering and eulogising him may appeal to or advise him to do the needful. He should surrender himself to the appropriate authorities. He or anyone can never be above the law. Meanwhile, those arrested will be charged accordingly.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
