The Department of State Services, DSS, has confirmed the raid that was carried out in the Soka, Ibadan residence of Yoruba agitator, Sunday Adeyemo aka Sunday Igboho.
Speaking on the raid, DSS spokesman, Peter Afunaya, told newsmen that “A team of joint security operatives raided the residence of Sunday Adeyemo at Soka in Ibadan.“
On approach to his residence, the team came under heavy gun attack by nine men suspected to be Igboho’s guards.
Six were armed with AK-47 guns and three others with pump action rifles.“
In the course of the exchange, two of the armed men were gunned down, while the rest were arrested.
“Only one operative, who was shot by the assailants in his right hand, sustained injury. The hour-long gun duel offered Igboho the chance to escape. Sunday Adeyemo, aka Sunday Igboho, is now on the run.’
“Consequently, ADEYEMO/IGBOHO is advised to turn himself into the nearest security agency. Those cheering and eulogising him may appeal to or advise him to do” he said.
