The Federal Government of Nigeria has revealed sponsor of Mr Sunday Adeyemo, who is also known as Sunday Igboho, the agitator for Oduduwa Republic.
In a press conference on Friday in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital which was held by Abubakar Malami, the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, it was disclosed that the secessionist, who is currently standing trial in the Republic of Benin, has about 43 accounts in nine different banks.
This according to Malami was uncovered by a committee set up by the federal government to unravel how the fugitive got monies to sponsor his agitation.
“The Federal Government has received the report on financers of Adeniyi Sunday Adeyemo also known as Sunday Igboho.
“The report stated that Sunday Igboho is a Director and signatory to Adesun International Concept Limited which was registered on 23rd April 2010.
“Adesun International Concept Limited also has Oladele Oyetunji and Aderopo Adeyemo as Directors. Sunday Igboho is linked to 43 bank accounts in nine banks.
“The major financier of the fugitive and separatists was found to be a federal lawmaker in the National Assembly. A total sum of N127,145,000.00 was received by Igboho from his financiers between 22nd October 2013 and 28th September 2020 through Adesun International Concept Ltd accounts.
“A total N273,198,200.00 transaction outflows were recorded from Sunday Igboho’s account between 15th March 2013 and 11 March 2021.
“Investigation reveals that Adesun International Concept Ltd (belonging to Igboho) transferred the sum of twelve million seven hundred and fifty thousand naira (N12,750,000) to Abbal Bako & Sons,” Malami said.
It was reported that operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) invaded Igboho’s residence in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital for his arrest and some of his allies were killed after a gun duel with the security agencies while others were arrested in June 2021.
The security agencies however recovered some dangerous weapons from the agitator’s resident who must have escaped.
He was declared wanted by the Nigerian Police but was subsequently arrested at an airport in Cotonou, Benin Republic, after a failed attempt to sneak to a European country.
