Sunday Adeyamo the leader of Yoruba Nation liberation movement, well known as Sunday Igboho, has said the group can attain its objectives through
peaceful means.
Chief Yomi Alliyu (SAN), said this on Thursday quoting Igboho.
Igboho advised his supporters, PUNCH reports, especially Yoruba people both within and outside the nation to chun
the use of force in the quest to attain the objectives of the movement, “without
heating up the fragile situation” in Nigeria.
The Yoruba right activist, made it known to PUNCH
that, from now on he will preach again war or the use of force, considering the current
situation in Ukraine a war dragging over two weeks now and also the effect of strife
in South-East in Nigeria.
He appreciates President of Republic of Benin, Patrice Talon,
over his release from detention and all his supporters that played various roles
in his release.
The statement said, “Sunday Adeyemo a.k.a Igboho Oosa
thanked all that are supporting him, especially his leaders, Baba Prof.
Akintoye and Baba Prof. Wale Adeniran and all Nigerians especially his people
in Ilana Oodua and affiliates seeking self-determination.
“He continues to preach against war seeing what is happening
in Ukraine and some parts of Igboland in Nigeria. He implored all, especially
his kinsmen at home and in the diaspora, to embrace dialogue in their quest for
self-determination without heating up the very fragile situation in Nigeria.
“He believes that their ambition will be achieved without
firing a bullet as he used to say at rallies.
It further stated that, “He (Igboho) appreciates Chief Dele
Momodu being the only Yorubaman of note that came to visit him in Cotonou
prison. He remains grateful to the President of the Republic of Benin,
President Talon, for releasing him from prison with a view to uniting him with
members of his immediate family, albeit only in Cotonou for the time being.
“He assures all those in support of peaceful self-determination
through a referendum that the struggle continues as he will not relent in his
efforts in that regard.
“Igboho pledged his eternal loyalty and respect to Yomi
Alliyu SAN who though an extreme Buharist and a nationalist who does not
believe in balkanisation of Nigeria, exhibited extreme professionalism in
taking up his case with DSS without a kobo and winning it with landmark award
of #20.5billion dollars!”
Sunday Igboho who fled the country to avoid arrest, was released
from prison in Benin Republic on Monday, February 07, on condition that he will not leave the country anything soon, after eight
months detention.
He was detained on “criminal association", in Cotonou the
capital of Benin Republic.
Nigerian Government has made several attempt to extradite him
to Nigeria since July 2021, when he escaped a raid on his residence by Department
State Service DSS.
DSS claimed he is in possession of arms and he was also accused
by police of planning a violent act that will affect the peace of Nigeria.
His arrest in Benin, was in an attempt to board a flight for
Germany.
