Alhaji Waheed Adetunji, a real estate agent in Ibadan has faulted the Police in Oyo State for allegedly shielding Sunday Igboho, a popular Yoruba activist from arrest and possible prosecution.
Speaking to reporters in Oyo state, Adetunji said that the recent Police invitation to Sunday Igboho by the former IGP, Mohammed Abubakar was meant to question him over his involvement in alleged criminal acts, and not because of his agitation for the Yoruba nation.
It was gathered that Adetunji provided some documents to reporters, which he claimed are evidence of his allegations against Ighoho.
A statement by Adetunji, the complainant said, “We have used every means to get Ighoho arrested over illegal acquisition of a landed property at Idi-Mango village road, Soka area, on Lagos/Ibadan expressway, in Ibadan, but his strong connection with the police in Oyo State is frustrating efforts to get him arrested.”
“However, after many failed attempts to arrest lghoho in Ibadan, we sought assistance of the police from the police headquarters in Abuja and they contacted Alagbon Police Station in Lagos to intervene.”
“This has led to the prompt arrest of some of Ighoho’s boys and lawyer, but Igboho has been hiding under activism for the emancipation of the Yoruba race as an independent nation right to shield himself from lawful police invitation and prosecution.”
