Yoruba Activist Igboho Returns to Nigeria for Mother's Burial

Yoruba Nation activist, Sunday Adeyemo, widely known as Igboho, has made a return to Nigeria. This was confirmed by Igboho’s spokesman, Olayomi Koiki, who stated that the activist was in the country to attend his mother's burial.

Koiki disclosed this information in a brief statement accompanied by a video via his X page on Thursday. In the video, Igboho could be seen with some individuals believed to be at the mortuary. Koiki wrote, “I can confirm that Chief Sunday Adeyemo aka Sunday Igboho is currently on his way to Igboho Town for the final burial of his mother MRS S.A.ADEYEMO. The body of MRS S.A ADEYEMO was picked up from the mortuary in SAKI TOWN some few hours ago.”

Igboho has been absent from Nigeria since 2021 when he fled to Benin Republic after being declared wanted by the Department of State Services (DSS). The DSS had raided his home in the Soka area of Oyo State over alleged terrorism charges. The secret police had declared him wanted due to his agitation for the Yoruba Nation and attacks on Fulani herders accused of attacking farmers in the Southwest.

In Benin Republic, Igboho was arrested and detained while attempting to travel to Germany. However, he recently regained his freedom after spending two years in a Beninese prison. During his detention in Benin Republic, Igboho lost his mother who resided in Saki, Oyo State.
