Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Yoruba Nation agitator, Sunday Adeyemo popularly known as Igboho, on Friday, said he came back to Nigeria by the power of God.<\/p>\n

Igboho made the remark while accusing former President Muhammadu Buhari of attempting to assassinate him.<\/p>\n

He alleged that Buhari sent the Department of State Services, DSS, and soldiers to assassinate him in his house.<\/p>\n

Addressing his followers in Oyo State, the freedom fighter claimed that his agitation against Fulani herders killing of farmers in the Southwest was behind the move to assassinate him.<\/p>\n

According to Igboho: \u201cBuhari sent his soldiers and DSS to arrest me in my house because I said Yorubas are not slaves to Fulanis, they can\u2019t suppress us in our father\u2019s land.<\/p>\n

\u201cFulanis can\u2019t stop our fathers and mothers from going to their farms. But, I\u2019m back with the power of God and authority not that of man.\u201d<\/p>\n

The freedom fighter returned to Nigeria on Thursday, ahead of his mother\u2019s burial in the Saki area of Oyo State.<\/p>\n

Igboho has been out of Nigeria since 2021 when he eloped to Benin Republic after he was declared wanted by the DSS.<\/p>\n

DSS had invaded his residence in the Soka area of Oyo State but he escaped.<\/p>\n

The secret police had declared him wanted over his agitation for Yoruba Nation and attacks on Fulani herders accused of killing farmers in the Southwest.<\/p>\n

In Benin Republic, Igboho was arrested and remanded while attempting to travel to Germany.<\/p>\n

However, he recently regained his freedom after two years in a Beninoise prison.<\/p>\n
