The residence of Yoruba rights activist, Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, in the Soka area of Ibadan, Oyo State, has been attacked.
Igboho’s Spokesman, Olayemi Koiki, disclosed this via Facebook Live on Thursday.
Koiki said the house was attacked around 1 am on Thursday and claimed that soldiers were behind the attack.
“I can confirm that those who came are definitely Nigerian soldiers. There are more than 100 soldiers that came. The situation is very active as more security operatives in about seven Nigerian Army patrol vans have arrived.”
The spokesman, however, said that Igboho had not been harmed and is currently safe.
According to reports from The PUNCH, the vehicles and compound walls were riddled with bullets in the aftermath of the ambush.

It was also reported that some of the house occupants were whisked away by the invaders dressed in military camouflage.
The Police Public Relations Officer in Oyo State, Adewale Osifeso, when contacted, said he also heard about the invasion. However, he did not have any additional information and said that he would investigate the matter.
Note that this attack comes less than 48 hours to the planned “Yoruba Nation” rally scheduled to hold on July 3 in Lagos.
Also, recall that on January 26, 2021, some faceless hoodlums reportedly attacked the Soka residence of Igboho also in Ibadan and gutted the house.
Subsequently, in February, it was reported that there was an attempted arrest on Igboho when the activist and his supporters were on their way to meet with Afenifere chieftain Ayo Adebanjo. The Department of State Services (DSS) has, however, denied the attempted arrest.
