Nobel laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka has maintained that Yoruba freedom fighter, Sunday Adeyemo, aka Igboho is not a criminal.

Soyinka said the Nigerian Government should tag herdsmen killing people and raping women as criminals and not Igboho.

Speaking with journalists at the Freedom Park in Lagos on Friday, the Nobel Laureate said Igboho’s agitation cannot be criminalized because it’s peaceful. .

Soyinka also criticized the Department of State Services, DSS, for raiding Igboho’s residence in Ibadan, Oyo State.

He said: “I refuse to accept that Igboho is being chased because he peacefully demonstrated his position vis-a-vis the destiny of this nation, which is a fundamental human right of any body.

“Somebody calls for secession, calls for a separate state, I don’t consider that, and nowhere does it deserve to be called a criminal act.

“As long as it is done peacefully, collectively, within the ambit of the law, you don’t now criminalize that action.

“And in addition, commit criminal acts against such an individual, which is what the government, the security forces did by raiding Igboho’s home in the middle of the night, killing two of his own people, then claiming, without a warrant or anything, they found weapons in his home.”

Igboho is currently locked up by security agents in Benin Republic.

The freedom fighter was arrested recently in Cotonou while trying to travel to Germany.

Igboho had fled Nigeria to Benin Republic after he was declared wanted by the DSS.

His arrest followed the discovery of weapons in his house in Soka area of Ibadan, Oyo State.

We all know this obvious truth !!

Hmmm

But local members of YMM Yoruba Muslims Miscreants are thinking otherwise

If Igboho did not break Benin Republic laws, why is he still in prison there?

sammyj:
We all know this obvious truth !!

He is a Secessionist? A treasonist, Worse than a common criminal.

Seen and noted

Peacefully demonstrated by carrying guns and intimidating security operatives? Can I use that anology to excuse IPOB? I mean we all support Igboho in his determined quest to free the Yorubas from their self depreciating evil embrace with the Talibanic Fulani, but let's be guided on how we use different standards to judge different separatist movements across this convulsing amalgam.

According to ur sharia laws?

I agree with prof.

By the way, why is Benin republic still holding Sunday Igboho? It's about time they let him go.

The Nigerian government wants him to be extradite to Nigeria

Nigerians already know the truth!

That's good.

Woodcock98:
Then what is he?

A freedom fighter, that selflessly fight for the emancipation of his people from the clutches of the fulani and Hausa Terrorists. Even though greater number of his people love the position of slavery, but i commend and respected him.

Well, it's only a mad man that will call igboho a criminal while sitting on the fence and the same time be hailing and tagging bandits, boko haram and Iswap as saints worthy to be celebrated

As far as I'm concerned,no responsible person should call a man like igboho who wants the best for his people a criminal unless he wanna go into a boxing ring with me..

Rubbish..

Noted

Fulani marauders are not criminals or terrorists but separatists demanding out from a country being ruled by terrorists are criminals.Your Waterloo is near.

Y

The obvious

Buhari is intelligent, smart and wicked.

He is the chief terrorist.

Have you noticed that no bandit or Fulani has been prosecuted or sent to jail. Whenever Nigerians shout, he will call for kangaroo security meeting.

Compare it to the swift action he took against Sunday Igboho, Nnamdi Kanu or against channels TV for inviting people who spoke against him.

Buhari is acting out his plans. He is evil. We will survive the remaining 2 years

If you are still a supporter of this evil government, whether you do it online or offline, just know that your life will never amount to anything useful on earth. You can be collecting monthly stipends but just know that the blood of every innocent soul killed by this evil administration will never allow you to enjoy whatever you make, be it money or whatever.
