FG Raises Alarm Over Igboho’s Plan To Flee Nigeria

The Federal Government has raised alarm that Yoruba Nation agitator, Chief Sunday Adeyemo, aka Sunday Igboho, is trying to acquire a new passport to flee the country.

This was contained in a letter by the Nigeria Immigration Service dated July 9, 2021, addressed to the Director General, Department of State Services, the Inspector General of Police and the DG, National Intelligence Agency.

The letter added that the federal government had placed Igboho on the stop-list in order to facilitate his arrest and directed the security agencies to apprehend him anywhere he is found.

In the security circle, a person whose name is on the stop-list is denied all constitutional rights and privileges a citizen is entitled to.

Recall that the separatist agitation for the Yoruba Nation, had been declared wanted by the Department of State Services on allegations of stockpiling arms to destabilise the country, which he has since denied.

Igboho’s whereabouts remain unknown since he narrowly escaped arrest during the July 1 midnight raid on his Ibadan residence by the DSS, ahead of a major rally in Lagos.

According to PUNCH, the NIS letter issued to facilitate Igboho’s arrest was signed on behalf of the Comptroller General of Immigration by Assistant Comptroller General of Immigration, Investigation and Compliance, A.B. Baba.
