The Olubadan of Ibadan, Oba Rashidi Ladoja, has pledged to intervene in the travails of Yoruba nation agitator, Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, whose bank accounts were frozen by the Federal Government.
AFRIPOST had yesterday reported that Igboho, in company with his supporters, visited the monarch at his Bodija residence in Ibadan on Monday. Both men held a 40-minute meeting.
A statement from Igboho’s media office said their discussions centred on insecurity in the South-West, bandit attacks in parts of Kwara State, and Igboho’s issues with the Federal Government.
“The Olubadan promised to intervene on the challenges faced by Igboho, including his designation as a wanted person and the embargo placed on his bank accounts,” the statement read in part.
In 2021, the Department of State Services (DSS), backed by soldiers, raided Igboho’s Soka residence in Ibadan, killing two aides and arresting 13 others, after accusing him of stockpiling arms.
During his visit, Igboho congratulated Ladoja on his ascension to the throne, describing him as a leader loved across Ibadan and Yorubaland.
“Olubadan has been a father figure to me since his time as governor. His reign will no doubt further promote peace, unity, and development in Ibadanland and Yorubaland,” Igboho said.
