Yoruba Nation agitator, Chief Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, has narrated how security operatives invaded his Ibadan residence

Igboho alleged that the attack was carried out with the intent to take his life.

He opened up on the DSS invasion during a visit to the Olowo of Owo, Oba Ajibade Gbadegesin Ogunoye III, at his palace in Ondo State

As reported by Nigerian Tribune, he stated this while speaking during a visit to the Olowo of Owo, Oba Ajibade Gbadegesin Ogunoye III, at his palace in Ondo State.

“When my house was invaded, they wanted to kill me, but failed. Some said my intestines were shattered, others said my leg was broken, but there was nothing of such. They fired guns at me very well, but the prayers of you, my fathers, on me were answered.”

According to Igboho, his so-called ‘trusted’ friend had told the agents not to let the cat escape, which led to the security operatives killing the animal.

“When I opened the door of my room for them, they saw my cat on the bed. One of my friends, whom I entrusted with a secret, had told them not to let the cat go. So they killed the cat and wrapped it in clothes like a corpse. They destroyed everything in the house and killed one of my brothers alongside one other person, and they left.”

Recall that Igboho disclosed that he was still on the wanted list of the federal government.

The Yoruba Nation activist commented while reacting to the claim of Naja’atu Mohammed, a former director in President Bola Tinubu’s Presidential Campaign Council.

Naja’atu, who had now dumped Tinubu for ex-Vice President Atiku Abubakar, had tackled Tinubu that Igboho was walking freely while Nnamdi Kanu faced court cases for secessionist advocacy.

Youths under the aegis of the Niger Delta Ethnic Nationalities Youth Leaders Forum have given the Group Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL), Mr Bashir Bayo Ojulari, one week to vacate office over his alleged resignation recently.

The youths who gave the ultimatum during a world press conference in Abuja, also urged the Federal Government to appoint the GCEO’s replacement from the Niger Delta region.

The text of the press conference was signed by the Chairman, Niger Delta Ethnic Nationalities Youth Leaders Forum and spokesman, Ijaw Youth Council, Sir Jothan Lokpobiri Snr., and the spokesman of the Forum and President-General, Ogoni Youth Federation, Engr. Dr. Legborsi Yamaabana.

The group threatened that failure to accede to its demands may have consequences for the stability and peace in the Niger Delta.

It said the briefing was necessitated by grave concerns over the recent conduct of Ojulari which allegedly threatened the peace and stability of the Niger Delta region.

Reading the text of the press conference, the Chairman of the Forum, Lokpobiri, claimed that Mr. Ojulari allegedly resigned his position on August 2nd, 2025, as the GCEO of NNPCL following allegations of corruption and gross incompetence.

Lokpobiri said: “Shockingly, despite this resignation, he has refused to vacate the office and continues to parade himself illegally as GCEO.

“His actions are not only unlawful but deeply offensive to the oil-producing Niger Delta region and damaging to the reputation of NNPCL.

“We therefore demand that Ojulari vacates the GCEO’s office within seven days. Nigeria cannot afford a national oil company without credible leadership. Since his resignation, NNPCL has been left with a GCEO, drifting without direction.

“For the sake of equity, justice, and national stability, we insist that the next GCEO must come from the Niger Delta region.

“We have many highly qualified, globally respected engineers and technocrats within and outside the NNPCL who can immediately provide effective leadership.

“Beyond vacating office, Ojulari must also face full prosecution. He stands accused of the following:

“Diverting $21 million of NNPCL funds into the private account of his associate, Mr. Bashir Haske — an allegation that has already led to arrests by the EFCC.

“Deliberately shutting down the fully operational Port Harcourt Refinery on May 24th, 2025, with the intent of selling it at scrap value to his cronies, while diverting crude oil allocations as spot cargoes to his allies and illegally sacking over 400 Nigerian youths, including some from the Niger Delta, thereby rendering them jobless and worsening the unemployment crisis in the region.

“This reckless sabotage crippled a refinery that had successfully resumed operations in December 2024, after a turnaround maintenance that cost $1.5 billion of taxpayers’ money.

“At the time, the refinery was running profitably and providing hundreds of jobs and opportunities
“These actions are unforgivable acts of corruption and economic sabotage against both the Niger Delta and Nigeria as a whole.

“We therefore call on the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to act without delay by appointing a qualified Niger Delta professional as the new GCEO of NNPCL and ensuring that Bashir Bayo Ojulari is fully investigated and prosecuted for financial crimes and economic sabotage.

“Let it be clear: if these demands are not met within seven days, the Niger Delta youths will be compelled to take decisive mass action. “Such action will have far-reaching consequences for the peace and stability of the region. This is not a threat but a warning born out of deep concern.

“The fragile peace we have worked hard to sustain is now at risk, and as leaders, we cannot stand by and watch it collapse. Enough is enough. Ojulari must go. Justice must prevail.”

Former Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai, has issued a strong warning to the social media handlers of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) coalition for fabricating statements and attributing them to him.

According to Naija News, El-Rufai expressed his dissatisfaction with these statements in a post on 𝕏 on Thursday.

The former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) clarified that he is distancing himself from these statements, not because he necessarily disagrees with their content, but because he never made them.

According to El-Rufai, fabricating statements is not an honest way to represent the party or gain traction and should be stopped.

He wrote, “Dear ADC Vanguard. Please stop fabricating statements and attributing them to me. I have my social media handles where I can make my views and opinions published. I am going to disown the statements you created and attributed, not because I necessarily disagree with the message, but because I never made them. That is not the honest way to represent our party or gain traction. Please stop it forthwith.”

In response, the ADC social media handler deleted the message and apologised to El-Rufai.

The post read, “Dear Mallam El-Rufai, We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused. It was never our intention to misrepresent or attribute statements to you. We respect your voice and your platforms as the proper channels for your views. Going forward, we will ensure that only verified and authentic sources are reflected in our communications. Thank you for pointing this out with clarity and respect. ADC Vanguard”
