THERE was an attack on the Soka, Ibadan, Oyo State residence of Yoruba activist, Sunday Adeyemo, popularly called Sunday Igboho, by yet-to-be-identified people in the early hours of Monday.
The gunmen were said to have stormed the house at about 1.30am and attempted to set it ablaze, but were reportedly repelled by Igboho’s security aides.
In a video circulating on social media, what appeared to be an exchange of gunfire wad heard, while one of the aides of the Yoruba activist alleged that the men who invaded his principal’s residence were sent by the Federal Government.
There was however nothing to corroborate this allegation.
Residents of the area, however, said they were in fear when the gunshot sounds filled the air and prayed for divine intervention.
Spokespersons for Igboho, Koiki Olayomi and Dapo Salami, confirmed Monday’s attack on their boss.
Koiki, a spokesperson for the Yoruba activist, warned that they would go all out to face the Government if they did not leave Igboho alone.
On those who invaded the house, he said, “The gunmen came exactly 1.30 am. They attempted to enter the house but they were resisted. I cannot confirm the number of those who came. But, they came and they were resisted. We are not suspecting anyone, but we know that some people came. They came and they were resisted, that is just it.”
