A Self-Acclaimed Yoruba rights activist Sunday Adeyemo Better known as Sunday Igboho has revealed he turned down two invitation letters purportedly sent by Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu.
Igboho, In a statement by his media aide, Olayomi Koiki, said the letters were sent to him on Thursday through a private courier service and the other with about 15 police officers.
He said he rejected the letter for security reasons, citing the case of the late Dele Giwa who was killed via letter bomb.
The statement reads: “We would like to tell the international communities and every Nigerian that this morning 1st of April, 2021, a letter was sent via DHL to Chief Sunday Igboho but the letter was not received by his security operatives.
“Later around 3pm of the same day, a team of about six men without uniform arrived in a Corolla car and another 9 were in police uniform but all were identified as police officers.
“They wanted to see Chief Sunday Igboho with a letter said to have been addressed to him by the Inspector General of Police. Again, the letter was not received by Chief Sunday’s security team.
“Chief Sunday would like to know why a letter was sent to him and for what purpose. If the IG of police wants to invite him, we would like him to first send the same letter to all the bandits and Boko Haram members killing our mothers and farmers and those kidnapping them.
“Since the IG of police wants to invite him, he should make a public statement addressed to Chief Sunday Igboho.
“We should all remember how letters had been sent to previous Yoruba sons like the late Dele Giwa.”
