Yoruba activist Sunday Igboho has revealed how men armed with guns who claimed to be military officers stormed his home in Ibadan, Oyo State, at around 2:00 a.m. on July 1st.
In an interview with BBC Yoruba, Igboho said;
“I just heard plenty bullet in my compound and gunshot in front of my house. They were shouting my name to come out, saying that they were DSS, therefore I should come out.
While looking through the window, I noticed DSS officers and soldiers, so I was surprised because I didn’t kill anyone, neither did I fight with anybody, what I’m doing is to fight for me people.
All of my protests are peaceful. I am fighting for my family, who were victims of violence, because all the bandits kidnapped my family, raped them killed them and take ransom from them.
It turned out that the government refused to do the right thing, and that's why I decided to help my family in order to defend our rights. I was caught completely off guard.
I was home when they arrived. They killed about two people. I was overwhelmed by the gunfire. They wrecked my vehicles and buildings. He said
