The Senior Pastor of the Worksword of God
Church, Olabisi Gabriel Adegboye, has queried
Nigeria’s President Muhammadu Buhari
accusing him of trying to silence Yoruba
activist, Sunday Igboho.
He warned Buhari to stop the attack against
the freedom fighter or face the wrath of God.
In a Facebook post on Wednesday, the cleric
said he was speaking as a servant of God
sent to Nigeria to speak peace and encourage
reconciliation.
According to Adegboye, there is no
justification strong enough to defend the
Nigerian government and its agency, the
Department of State Services, DSS,
concerning the midnight attack against
Igboho.
“He [Igboho] held rally in Osogbo, Ibadan,
Ogun, Ondo and Ado Ekiti without any
breaking down of law and no casualty
whatsoever at anytime. He claimed to be
defending his people against rape, murder
and destruction of their farm and vegetations.
“To proof this, when he heard that DSS and
Soldiers were in his compound, he retreated,
withdrew himself to avoid confrontation with
law enforcement agents of the Country.
“I want the government of the Federation to
always justify it’s action before descending
on any Citizen of your Country.
“Why DSS, why? Alfa Gumi that is giving
covering and interacting with the bandits is
yet to be arrested.
“Wakili the terrorist, who was arrested by
members of OPC is yet to be arraigned in
court nor his house attacked by DSS.
“I know that prevention is better than cure,
yet the measure taken was anti Democratic
invasion. Let sleeping dog my dear DSS.
“I suggest giving a sound of warning through
the Yoruba leaders of thought and their Royal
fathers before carrying out an attack on
someone who is representing the Yoruba race
peacefully. God bless Federal Republic of
Nigeria. God bless His Excellency.
“Let peace reign in Nigeria and stop using
violence to correct your citizens
Whatever reason behind this attack is not
comely enough to result to manhandling of
human beings this way.
“I’m sent by God to give this piece of advice
to avoid escalated crisis in the Country,
especially in the South West.
Adegboye, Gabriel Olabisi is my name
The Convener of Save Nigeria Network.”
Sunday Igboho was reportedly arrested in
Cotonou, Benin Republic on Monday night
and the Federal Government of Nigeria has
been battling to repatriate him back to the
country.
