He said this during an interview with
Saturday PUNCH on Friday, while
reacting to the face- off between him
and security agents around the Guru
Maharaji bus stop along the Lagos -
Ibadan Expressway.
The Yoruba rights activist , who has
been in the news for serving a quit
notice on Fulani herdsmen in some
parts of the South - West , said he was
never invited before they attempted to
arrest him .
The OPC chieftain , who spoke with one
of our correspondents, said he and
other members of Yoruba local security
and pressure groups were with the
Yoruba activist on his way to see
Adebanjo in Lagos when they were
accosted by a security team comprising
men of the Nigerian Army, police , and
DSS .
Adesina said, “ Although we were
caught unawares , we were not
unprepared for any eventuality . Sunday
Igboho was to meet our father , Ayo
Adebanjo, in Lagos , so we got prepared
and set out . I can’ t really tell the exact
time .
“ Our journey was smooth until we were
stopped and the security men began to
harass the entourage asking , ‘ Where is
the criminal?’ We were in disbelief .
When we realised that it was Igboho
Osha that they were on the lookout for,
there was an exchange of words and
the place turned rowdy .
“ We called to question their ground for
wanting to arrest him . For us, the law
enforcement agents were wrong to
have put on a show. On what ground
would the arrest of Sunday Igboho be,
while the killer herders who are wielding
dangerous weapons , kidnapping , killing ,
maiming and extorting our fathers ,
mothers and sisters still walk free ?
“ We are happy that although there was
tension at the scene , we were allowed
to go without any problem . No gunshot
was fired, nobody got hurt and we later
proceeded on our journey. ”
