A former presidential aide, Reno Omokri has reacted to the arrest of Yoruba Nation convener, Sunday Adeyemo a.k.a Sunday Igboho.
Igboho was reportedly arrested at an airport in Cotonou, Benin Republic while trying to flee to Germany.
The Department of State Services had declared Igboho wanted after a bloody raid on his residence in Soka, Ibadan.
12 of his aides, alongside his wife, were arrested while two were killed during a gun battle with the DSS operatives.
Reacting to Igboho’s arrest, Reno Omokri called upon Nigerians to rise to his defense.
Security: Reflect on the ethos of Eid-el-Kabir- Minister
He wrote on his Instagram page: “The reported arrest of Sunday Igboho in Cotonou is unfortunate. He is a hero freedom fighter who defended us.
“We must now repay his good turn and also defend him and gather resources for his legal defence. Igboho deserves the same commitment from us that Buhari has shown and continues to show to killer herdsmen and bandits.
“Buhari has refused to categorise his kinsmen, who shot down a multimillion dollar Nigerian Airforce jet yesterday, as terrorists (they lied that the jet did not crash, but the pilot survived and blew open their lies).
“Yet, he has criminalised one of the few Nigerians brave enough to stand up to killer herdsmen. And that is why I stand with Igboho. Not for secession. But for defending his people”.
