Igboho: South-West Govs In Emergency Meeting

The six governors in the South-West geopolitical zone convened
an emergency meeting on Friday evening over current national
issues, PUNCH report.

A top source, who preferred anonymity because he was not
authorised to speak on the matter, told Saturday PUNCH that the
governors met virtually and discussed sundry issues.

The source could not confirm whether the governors discussed the
raid by operatives of the Department of State Services on the
Ibadan residence of Yoruba activist, Sunday Adeyemo, aka Sunday
Igboho.

However, it was gathered that the issue was discussed, among
others.

“They are meeting but no one is sure if it is because of Igboho.
There are several reasons governors can meet (on) especially in the
face of the precarious situation ( in the country),” the source
said.

It was gathered that governors who took part in the meeting were
Rotimi Akeredolu (Ondo), Babajide Sanwo-Olu (Lagos), Kayode Fayemi
(Ekiti), Dapo Abiodun (Ogun), Gboyega Oyetola (Osun) and Seyi
Makinde (Oyo).

The meeting was chaired by Akeredolu, who is the chairman of the
governors’ forum in the zone.

Many Nigerians on social media have lamented the audible silence
of the governors in the zone about 48 hours after the secret police
raided Igboho’s residence in a Gestapo style.

Thirteen of Igboho’s guards and close associates were arrested
and paraded by the DSS while two of his followers were reportedly
killed in a gun duel with the secret police. However, Igboho had
escaped the raid.

His house and cars were riddled with bullets during the raid
while bloodstains splattered over the floors of the house.

The secret police have since declared Igboho wanted. The
activist is being accused of stockpiling weapons to destabilise the
country under the guise of agitation for Yoruba nation but the
activist had since denied the allegation, noting that he fights
with metaphysical powers and not ammunition.
