According to the Department of State Services (DSS) spokesman, Peter Afunanya, who stated this during a press conference on Thursday, he disclosed that men suspected to be guards of Sunday Igboho engaged operatives of the agency in a gun battle during a raid on the home of the Yoruba Nation agitator in Ibadan on Thursday morning he confirmed the arrest of 13 of Igboho’s armed men by a team of joint security operatives.
The raid, according to Afunanya, followed intelligence that Igboho was stockpiling arms to cause chaos within the southwest region.
“On approach to his residence, the team came under heavy gun attack by nine men suspected to be Igboho’s guards. Six were armed with AK-47 guns and three others with pump-action rifles,” the DSS spokesman said.
“In the course of the exchange, two of the armed men were gunned down, while the rest were subdued and arrested. Only one operative, who was shot by the assailants in his right hand, sustained injury. He has, however, received medical attention and is very stable.
“The gun duel, which lasted an hour, offered Igboho the chance to escape. Sunday Adeyemo, aka Sunday Igboho, is now on the run.”
While noting that two of Igboho’s men were killed, the secret service said DSS operative sustained injuries.
Igboho was also said to have escaped during the gun battle and is currently on the run, with security operatives calling on him to turn himself in or be tracked down.
