After years in exile, Sunday Igboho returns to Nigeria

Self-acclaimed Yoruba nation agitator, Chief Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, has returned to Nigeria following the removal of his name from the list of wanted persons. Igboho arrived in the country on Monday from self-exile in Cotonou, Benin Republic. On arrival, he was received by supporters at his residence in Soka, Ibadan, Oyo State, where prayers were offered for his safe return. Prayers were also said for President Bola Tinubu and traditional rulers who intervened in his case. While recounting his ordeal, an emotional Igboho said that under the administration of the late President Muhammadu Buhari, he was declared wanted, denied a Nigerian passport, and had his bank accounts frozen despite favourable court rulings. He recalled that he fled Nigeria on July 1, 2021, following a raid on his Ibadan residence by a combined team of the Department of State Services (DSS) and the Nigerian Army over allegations of stockpiling arms and ammunition. In 2024, Igboho briefly returned to the country to attend his late mother’s burial before going back into exile. After his arrival, Igboho proceeded to the palace of the Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Rashidi Ladoja, where he was warmly received by the monarch and supporters. Oba Ladoja, who appeared visibly pleased, welcomed him and offered prayers for his continued success. Expressing gratitude, Igboho said Oba Ladoja was instrumental to his freedom, noting that the monarch had consistently checked on him during his stay in Cotonou and had engaged Yoruba elders on his behalf.
