The Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore, one of the umbrella bodies of herdsmen in Nigeria, has alleged that South-West governors are “hiding” wanted Sunday Adeyemo popularly known as Sunday Igboho from DSS.
The Spokesman for the group, Saleh Alhassan, stated this on Monday in an exclusive interview with The PUNCH.
Although, Donald Ojogo, an aide to the Chairman of South-West Governors’ Forum and Governor of Ondo State, Rotimi Akeredolu, said it is demeaning for the governors to respond to Miyetti Allah’s accusation.
Igboho, a spearhead of the separatist agitation for the Yoruba nation, escaped the bloody raid and was subsequently declared wanted by the secret police on allegations of stockpiling arms to destabilise the country, which he has since denied.
Meanwhile, the whereabouts of the Yoruba nation agitator had since been unknown.
Alhassan said the DSS should have raided Igboho’s house earlier than it did.
The Spokesman for the group, however, advised the activist to turn himself into security operatives because he would be forcefully apprehended.
He said, “It is in his (Igboho) own best interest if he submits himself peacefully so that he can face justice. Why is he running? Is he not a revolutionary? He should submit himself before they get him because as it is now, he has been declared wanted, he should present himself to the nearest police station.
“All his (Igboho’s) actions are political; he is being used. His godfathers in the South-West should bring him out.
“The security agencies are speaking the language he understands, they will get him. I know the governors are hiding him but they (security agents) will get him.
“The (Nigerian) State has declared him wanted. He is not more than the state. The governors keeping him should produce him.
“He declared a republic; that was a rebellion. How can you be threatening the sovereignty of the (Nigerian) State and you still have the guts to be walking around and be organising rallies?”
