I thank you all. My name is Sunday Igboho and today is July 2 , 2021. I have been hearing that they have arrested me at Guru Maharaj Ji. It is a lie. I was not at Guru Maharaj Ji. I am in my house in Ibadan and nobody arrested me.\u201d<\/p><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\nMeanwhile, one of Igboho\u2019s maternal uncles simply identified as Alfa, was said to be one of those killed during the invasion of his residence by DSS operatives.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Our correspondent gathered that Alfa was a younger brother of Igboho\u2019s mum.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">One of Igboho\u2019s aides, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said that Alfa was on a visit to the house and was praying when the security agents stormed the house and opened fire there.<\/p>\n<p>The second person who was shot dead during the raid on the house was identified as Saheed, popularly known as Adogan.<\/p><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Adogan, was said to have hailed from Osogbo, the Osun State capital, where Igboho has business interests.<\/p>\n<p>The source said that Adogan was popular around Alekuwodo and that his killing had been described as a sad incident among Igboho\u2019s aides.<\/p>\n<p>The source said, \u201cYou know that people were always many in the house. There are even some persons there that chief does not recognise. Getting their full identities is difficult.<\/p><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\n\u201cBut the Alfa that came on a visit from Ogun State was chief\u2019s uncle. He was praying when the soldiers and DSS arrived and started shooting. He was shot and he died there. His corpse was taken away.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAdogan was also shot dead. His death pained everybody. He hailed from Osogbo, Alekuwodo area. His first name is Saheed, but I don\u2019t know his surname.\u201d<\/p><\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The embattled Yoruba National agitator, Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, has debunked the news of his arrest.
