Those Who Burnt Mine House Should Have Come To Where I Live… Sunday Igboho

Chief Sunday Adeyemo, a Yoruba rights activist whose house at Ibadan was burnt at the early hours of Tuesday, decried that if the people who burnt his house had come to where he lives, he would have either kill them or leave them with broken legs.

The burnt house which worth N50 million is the old house of Igboho in Soka, Oyo State.

Igboho, while reacting said: “When they knew they could fight, fire gunshots, and set a house ablaze, isn’t it where I stay that they are supposed to come?

”If they had come to the house where I stay, I would have had evidence for you people (journalists) because they won’t all escape.

”It’s either you meet their dead bodies or meet them with broken legs. I thank God that they applied wisdom by going to a house where they know that I don’t live and destroyed my properties and burnt it down.”

Narrating further what he learnt about the attack on his old house, Igboho who spoke with journalists said the arsonists fired gunshots before breaking in.

His words: “Around 3.30am today, my younger ones residing at my old house rushed to my gate to wake me up, saying some bandits came to the house, fired gunshots, broke the gate, and set the house ablaze. The two people at the house managed to escape. By the time I got there, the bandits had escaped. So, we called firefighters to help us put out the fire.

“These Fulanis are killing our brothers in our fatherland. They’re killing, raping, and kidnapping. All the things they are doing to us are not good. That’s why I’m trying to unite our people so that we can chase them away for peace to reign in Yorubaland.

“What I find surprising is that some Yorubas are in support of the herdsmen to set my house on fire. I’m saddened by it.

“When they knew they could fight, fire gunshots, and set a house ablaze, isn’t it where I stay that they are supposed to come? If they had come to the house where I stay, I would have had evidence for you people (journalists) because they won’t all escape. It’s either you meet their dead bodies or meet them with broken legs. I thank God that they applied wisdom by going to a house where they know that I don’t live and destroyed my properties and burnt it down.”

On the level of damage done to his house, he said, “The worth of what was destroyed at my house cannot be less than N50 million.”

“Those who were at the house are the ones who can give an explanation to that, because I wasn’t there. What they said was that they came with about five cars. I can’t tell for sure because I wasn’t there.”
