A Yoruba Nation agitator, Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, has appealed to the Federal Government to rescind its decision regarding his wanted status.
Mr Adeyemo made the appeal during his visit to the Olugbon of Orile-Igbon, Oba Olusola Alao, at his palace in Surulere Local Government Area of Oyo State on Tuesday.
He told the Olugbon of Orile-Igbon that he was not a criminal and thus worried about why he should be treated as one by the FG.
He stated that his being declared wanted by the previous administration for an unknown offence had made it difficult for him to use his Nigerian Passport.
Mr Adeyemo said he had also been denied access to his bank accounts.
He said he was able to make his trip to Nigeria from Germany as a result of the royal father’s intervention.
“Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to make this trip. I couldn’t come to Nigeria, let alone sleep in my house in Ibadan.
“I can’t access any of my bank accounts just because I am defending the interest of Yorubaland,” he said.
He, therefore, sought the intervention of Oba Alao and Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Abimbola Owoade, in appealing to the FG on the matter, saying he was tired of staying in exile.
Responding, the Olugbon of Orile-Igbon assured him that a letter would be written to that effect to the FG and the South-West governors.
According to him, Igboho is not a criminal and cannot be treated as such.
“I will not only write a letter for him to be allowed free entry into the country but also recommend him as the leader of the proposed local vigilante in the South-West region,” he said.
