YORUBA activist, Sunday Adeyemo, popularly called Sunday Igboho, has reacted to the attack on his Ibadan residence, saying those who set the house ablaze will run mad in 48 hours.
He said this on his Twitter handle just as the Oyo State Police Command noted, in a statement, that unknown gunmen stormed Igboho’s house at Soka area of Ibadan at about 6.20am on Tuesday.
The hoodlums were said to have stormed the house in a Hummer bus and Micra, firing sporadically, after which they set the house ablaze.
This followed Friday’s execution of the quit notice given to Fulani herders in the Ibarapa axis of the state by Igboho.
“This happened at about 1 am today. They thought I was still in the house. I am safe and sound my people. You can’t kill a breeze. In 48 hours, the attacker would be revealed and would run mad. I have spoken,” Igboho tweeted.
In the statement released earlier, Police Public Relations Officer in Oyo State, Gbenga Fadeyi, said, “At about 0620 hours of today 26/01/2021, a report was received at Sanyo Police Station that some unidentified hoodlums came to Sunday Igboho’s house at Soka area of Ibadan in a Hummer bus and Micra firing sporadically and set the house ablaze.
“The mini sitting room got burnt in the process while the amount of other properties is yet to be estimated.
“Immediately the DPO Sanyo got wind of the incident, he contacted Fire service while he also went to the scene for on the spot assessment.
“The fire was eventually put out. An investigation has commenced into the incident while the Police is on the trail of the hoodlums.”
