Yoruba nation agitator, Chief Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, has accused officials the State Security Service (SSS) of planting cache of arms and ammunition in his house.
He said arms and ammunition that were recovered from his residence during the midnight raid on Thursday were planted in his house.
He said the federal government has decided to frame him up because of his perception as a threat to “the Fulanisation agenda in Nigeria.”.
In a statement by his media aide, Mr Olayomi Koiki, Igboho said the invasion on my house was done without a search warrant.
He said he was not invited for questioning or investigation at any government facility before the invasion.
The statement added, “The operatives that stormed my residence destroyed my property, killed persons and stole money and other valuables. Pictures and videos of their atrocities have been widely circulated in the media.
“Nigerians and the international community should be aware that the security operatives that invaded my home either planted the ammunition being paraded in the media in my home or harvested them from their armoury to frame me.
The arms paraded are not mine, they are government magic. I protect myself with traditional powers, not with guns.
“Nigerians and the world at large are aware of my resistance to the incessant killings, raping and kidnapping of my people in southwest Nigeria by armed Fulani herdsmen.
“The failure of President Muhammadu Buhari and his government to curb the criminal activities of the murderous herdsmen necessitated my intervention.
“I ordinarily would not have intervened if the government had lived up to its responsibilities of securing the South West and Nigeria at large from the criminal activities of the president’s ethnic men”, he said.
