Yoruba Nation activist, Chief Sunday Adeyemo, better known as Sunday Igboho, has insisted he will return to Nigeria very soon.
Ighobo said he would be returning to the country to follow up with the terrorism case instituted against him by the Federal Government.
The activist stated that the Yoruba struggle will remain until the killings and kidnappings in South West are curtailed and the perpetrators are arrested.
He made known in a viral video flanked by the leader of Ilana Omo Oodua Worldwide, Prof Banji Akintoye and the deputy leader of the group, Prof. Wale Adeniran.
Igboho thanked those who stood by him during his trying period, especially, notable Yoruba leaders, legal counsel and his wife as well as family members.
In his words, “I want to thank everyone, I want everyone to be calm. I won’t betray you all. This is me here. I’m fine, hale and hearty.
Yoruba struggle will remain, and it will be stronger. Yorubas are suffering and smiling. They are killing, kidnapping and doing all sorts in Yorubaland and we are not talking.
Describing how he felt when they informed him of his release from prison, Igboho said: “The day I was released, I was playing “Ayo” with an inmate, and a police came, he said “Chief come, where is your lawyer? He said call your wife and lawyer, your father is around (Baba Akintoye). President has released you.
“I was shocked and asked him to show me a document to that effect. It was written in French. It took the efforts of another inmate to interpret it and he told me I’ve been released and that was how I believed. When I called my lawyer, they told me they were on their way and were already aware of my freedom. I thought I was dreaming.
“I’m coming back home soon. I’m a true son of the soil. One cannot be scared of his father’s home. Nothing will happen and no one will be scared of anyone.
“All that I’ve asked the Federal Government they are yet to answer, and the court has ruled in my favour. Asides from the judgement in Benin Republic, I’m coming to follow up with my judgement in Nigeria. Federal Government must pay my money. It is N20 billion.
“When I get back to my base in Ibadan, I will thank everyone specially again. You will see me well. Dear Yorubas, don’t be scared, Igboho is back.”
“The lawyers stood by me, and they said I should be calm despite the charges that they wanted to investigate against me for.”
