Yoruba Nation activist, Sunday Adeyemo aka Sunday Igboho, has suspended the Yoruba Nation rally which was scheduled to hold in Lagos on Saturday.
The development is not unconnected to Thursday morning attack on Igboho’s house in Ibadan during which his wife was reportedly abducted and two people killed.
Speaking with BBC Pidgin on Thursday, Igboho said the rally had been cancelled.
He explained that he took the decision to cancel the Lagos rally because of safety and security issues.
Igboho also confirmed that his wife was kidnapped and two people killed, adding that the gunmen were in military uniform when they attacked his house at Soka area.
He stated that the attack came as a surprise to him because he is an activist for the safety of the people and that he is a violent-free man.
According to him, he is fighting for the people and that the proposed rally was supposed to be peaceful.
“I fight for my family (Yoruba) because Fulani bandits killed my family, rape them. Government refused to do the right thing for my family. That is why I am fighting for them, so I am surprised. They killed two people during the shooting, and they destroyed my property and my vehicles,” he said.
