Yoruba nation agitator, Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, has debunked rumour of his death, describing it as a means of derailing the self-determination struggle.
In a statement, Igboho’s media aide, Olayomi Koiki said the activist reassured his supporters that he was alive and in good health.
“We want to assure the general public and supporters of the Yoruba Nation Movement that Chief Sunday Adeyemo Igboho is alive, well and in high spirits.
“There is no truth in the rumours being spread by certain individuals and groups trying to mislead the public. This is a deliberate attempt to tarnish his image and derail the ongoing self-determination struggle.
“We call on our supporters to remain vigilant and focus on our collective goal,” he said.
Igboho recently said corruption and insecurity were some of the reasons why many Nigerians no longer take pride in their citizenship.
He added that Yoruba youth, enriched by global exposure, were eager to transform the Yoruba nation into a modern and prosperous society like those in Europe.
