…Attempt reckless and dangerous-FFK

 

There was a bloody confrontation Friday on Lagos Ibadan expressway as a combined team of DSS and soldiers numbering 40 try to arrest activist,Sunday Igboho.
Igboho was on his way to visit Afenifere leader,Ago Adebanjo in Lagos.
In reaction,political activist,,Fani Kayode said Igboho confirmed the development to him in a phone conversation and described the development as reckless and dangerous.
Full details below:
I just spoke to my brother Sunday Igboho. He told me there was a violent attempt to arrest him this afternoon by a joint team of soldiers, DSS operatives and policemen numbering about 40 on the Ibadan/Lagos Expressway whilst he was on his way to see Baba Ayo Adebanjo in Lagos.

 

I condemn this attempt to ambush and abduct him. It is not only reckless but also very dangerous.

 

If the security agencies want to see him all they need to do is to invite him to their office.

 

I am not aware of any crime that he has committed and I urge restraint on all sides.

 

Let me also send a warning to the FG that Sunday Igboho is a hero to millions of Yorubas and either killing him or detaining him unlawfully would be the biggest mistake they could make.

 

Building bridges, dialogue and the pursuit of peace is better than intimidation, threats, violence and war.

 

A word is enough for the wise.
