Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, has called on the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu-led federal government to remove his name from wanted list, saying he is not a criminal and should not be treated as such.
Igboho explained that being declared wanted by the Late Muhammadu Buhari’s administration for an unknown offence has made it difficult for him to use the Nigerian Passport as well as denied him access to his bank accounts.
Igboho stated this during a visit to the Olugbon of Orile Igbon, Oba Francis Olusola Alao, at his Ile Igbon Palace on Tuesday.
“What have I done to justify my being declared wanted by Buhari’s administration. I am not a criminal and should not be treated as such.
“If not the assurance given by Olugbon, I wouldn’t have been able to make this trip. I couldn’t come to Nigeria talk less of sleeping in my house in Ibadan.
“I couldn’t access any of my bank accounts just because I am defending the interest of the Yorubaland.
“I am here to seek the intervention of Oba Olugbon on this matter. I know he is in position to appeal to the federal government to rescind decision on my being declared wanted,” he said.
Continuing, Igboho said he had raised the same issue with the Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Akeem Abimbola Owoade I, saying he’s tired of life in exile.
“I have raised the same matter with Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Akeem Owoade. I have been to his Palace. I am tired of staying in exile,” he added.
Responding to his request, Oba Alao assured him that a letter to the effect would be written to the federal government and the Southwest governors in the next 48 hours.
According to the monarch, Igboho is not a criminal and shouldnot be treated as such.
“What he fought for is what we are enjoying today in Yorubaland in terms of the leadership of the country
“I will not only write letter for him to be allowed free entry into the country but will recommend as the leader of the proposed local vigilante in the Southwest region,” he assured.
