Igboho to Ooni: Beg Tinubu to remove me from wanted list
Yoruba Nation activist, Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Igboho, has sought the assistance of the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, over his inability to access his accounts.
He urged the monarch to plead on his behalf with President Bola Tinubu for him to be removed from the Federal Government wanted list.
Igboho was declared wanted in July 2021 by the Department of State Services for allegedly stockpiling arms and ammunition.
Speaking during his visit to the Ooni at Ile Oodua Palace in Ile-Ife on Saturday, Igboho, who was accompanied by a large number of friends and associates, apologised for his past verbal attacks against Oba Ogunwusi.
“I want you to forgive and forget whatever wrong I have done to you. You are my father and you can’t do away with me. I know you have forgiven me going by this warm reception accorded us.
“I am here to further seek your help as you have been doing before. I am still on the Federal Government wanted list, and I want you to help me clear my name from the wanted persons’ list.
“Also, my account is frozen and I want you to assist me with that also. I want the embargo placed on my account to be lifted, and I know you are the one who can do it for me.
When I visited the Olowo of Owo, the monarch asked if I had seen the Ooni, and I told him no. The monarch told me to come and see you as you are the overall authority,” Igboho said in Yoruba language.
Commenting on the security situation in the South-West, the activist restated his readiness to flush out criminals hiding in forests in the region.
