The Umbrella body of Yoruba Self-Determination Groups, Ilana Omo Oodua, has expressed displeasure over the detention of four associates of Yoruba Nation agitator, Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, in Abuja.
The group made the complaint while reacting to the release of eight associates of Sunday Igboho on Monday.
The statement was issued by Communications Secretary, Ilana Omo Oodua Worldwide, Maxwell Adeleye, and titled, ’60 Days After Illegal Detention, Incarceration, DSS Releases eight Igboho’s Associates’.
Adeleye described the reasons given for the detention of the remaining Igboho’s aides as a “fallacy”.
He also accused the security operatives of planning to cover up their “crime against humanity” by detaining the “innocent” Nigerians.
The statement read, “The Ilana Omo Oodua Worldwide is very unpleased to inform the Yoruba People and all lovers of Freedom that eight out of the twelve Associates of Chief Sunday Adeyemo, fondly called Sunday Ighoho arrested by the men of the Department of State Services (DSS) on July 1st 2021 at Ibadan, Oyo State, have been released.
“The remaining four are still being held in the custody for only God’s known offense(s) but we shall keep fighting for their release within the ambit of the law.
“The Eight released are: Abdullateef Ademola, Onaolapo, Tajudeen Irinloye, Diekola Jubril Ademola, Ayobami Donald, Uthman Opeyemi Adelabu, Olakunle Oluwapelumi, Raji Kazeem and Taiwo Opeyemi Tajudeen.
“The four still held are: Amudat Babatunde, Abideen Shittu, Jamiu Oyetunji and Bamidele Sunday.
“We are currently making arrangements towards airlifting those released from Abuja to Lagos.”
