The leader of Pan-Yoruba sociopolitical group, Pa Ayo Adebanjo has said that from all indications, the assault on Igboho’s home was sponsored by the government and described it as an attack on the Yoruba.
According to Punch, the 93-year-old stated, “It is a government sponsored attack from all indications. It is unfortunate, particularly for the Yoruba.
“Mr President has taken us back to the Abacha regime. It was the same they did to Alfred Rewane, Gen Alani Akinrinade, Chief Abraham Adesanya and many others, including members of NADECO. I have said before that this government is a tyrannical government.”
When asked if Igboho did not deserve to be arrested due to his opposition to Fulani herders, Adebanjo said if that was the reason why he was being attacked, then it showed that the government was partial.
