It has been revealed that the many
Yoruba Nation agitators will hold a
protest at the Parliament Square in
London on Saturday to demand the
release of embattled Yoruba activist,
Sunday Adeyemo, aka Sunday Igboho.
This was disclosed by Olayomi Koiki,
spokesman for Igboho on Friday.
According to Koiki, the protest will
hold on July 31 at the Parliament
Square starting from 11 am.
In a similar protest that was held a
few days ago, the agitators were seen
with various placards making their
intentions known on the planned
protest.
The placards majorly carried pictures
of Igboho and the Yoruba nation flag
while many of them recited the
anthem of the proposed nation.
One of them was heard saying, “The
reason we have converged here today
is to let the international community
know that on the 31st of July all over
the world both in the Yoruba and
Biafra nations, we are demonstrating.
”We are making our grievances
known through protests so that the
international community will know
that what happened, especially in the
Benin Republic whereby Chief Sunday
Igboho Oosa, the defender and also
the one calling for the emancipation
and self-determination of the Yoruba
race, was going to Germany through
Cotonou from the tentacles of the
Nigerian government and the
Department of State Services.
”We all know what is happening in
Nigeria, herders will destroy crops
and when they are confronted by
farmers, they kill them and Chief
Sunday Igboho Oosa rose up to fight
that. What wrong has he done?”
SaharaReporters had reported that the
Benin Republic police two Mondays
ago arrested Igboho at Cardinal
Bernardin International Airport in
Cotonou while trying to fly from the
country to Germany.
The Department of State Services
(DSS) had on July 1 raided the
residence of the activist in Ibadan,
Oyo state.
Igboho had planned to hold a ”Yoruba
Nation Rally” in Lagos two days after
the raid.
The DSS raided the residence, killing
two people and arresting 12 aides but
Igboho escaped.
The agency alleged that Igboho was
stockpiling weapons, and
subsequently declared him wanted.
