Yoruba Nation agitator, Sunday Adeyemo, also known as Sunday Igboho, has debunked the rumour of his death.
Naijaonpoint reports that this comes following a social media post, which was shared on the Seyi Tinubu Youth Battalion Facebook page, claiming Ighoho is dead and further details regarding his supposed death would be disclosed soon.
However, the freedom fighter, in a statement through his spokesman, Olayomi Koiki, described reports circulating on social media regarding his death as false and misleading.
Koiki maintained that the Yoruba Nation leader is in good health and spending time with his family.
According to him, the purported death of Sunday Igboho was a deliberate attempt to tarnish his image and derail the ongoing self-determination struggle.
The statement read, “We want to assure the general public and supporters of the Yoruba Nation movement that Dr. Chief Sunday Adeyemo Igboho is alive, well, and in high spirits.
“There is no truth to 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.
“Let it be known that our mission for the self-determination of the Yoruba people remains strong and unshaken. We call on our supporters to remain vigilant and focused on our collective goal.”
