The mother of embattled Yoruba nation agitator, Sunday Adeyemo, also known as Sunday Igboho is dead.
OsunDailyNG reports that Igboho announced her mother’s demise in a post via his Instagram page on Sunday.
Sunday Igboho’s mother died on Saturday evening, July 22, 2023.
He wrote on Instagram: “My heart is heavy. I do not want you to leave just yet. I’m left alone in this complicated world. Mama mi, who would I turn to? It’s hard for me to say goodbye.
“The cold hands of death took you. It wriggles out from its dark depths and snatched you away. Mama mi, this is too much for me to bear. Too much”
Also, Igboho’s spokesman, Olayomi Koiki, confirmed the death in a tweet saying, “I can confirm today, Saturday 22nd of July 2023, that Dr. Chief Sunday Adeyemo’s (aka Sunday Igboho) mother died.”
Igboho has been unable to leave Benin Republic since his arrest and arraignment in 2021.
Igboho Makes Demand From Government
Meanwhile, Sunday Igboho has declared his intentions to return to Nigeria.
He reassured his followers of his imminent return to Ibadan, in Oyo State, signalling that his activism is far from over.
In a widely circulated video, Igboho claimed the Nigerian Government owes him N20 billion in compensation as the courts have acquitted him of all charges.
