Yoruba nation agitator, Chief Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, has appealed to the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, to intervene on his behalf with the Federal Government to remove his name from its wanted list.
Igboho, during a courtesy visit to the Ooni’s palace, also sought the monarch’s intervention regarding the embargo placed on all of his bank accounts, which he described as unjust and damaging to his livelihood.
He maintained that he is neither a criminal nor has he been found guilty of any offence by a court of competent jurisdiction, stressing that his agitation for Yoruba self-determination should not be mistaken for unlawful activities.
The activist further used the opportunity to tender a public apology to the Ooni of Ife for the harsh words he had used against the monarch in the past, describing his earlier outburst as regrettable and done in the heat of anger.
“I want you to forgive and forget whatever wrong I have done to you. You are my father and you can’t do away with me. I know you have forgiven me going by this warm reception accorded us.
“I am here to further seek your help as you have been doing before. I am still on the Federal Government wanted list, and I want you to help me clear my name from the wanted persons’ list.
“Also, my account is frozen and I want you to assist me with that also. I want the embargo placed on my account to be lifted, and I know you are the one who can do it for me.
“When I visited the Olowo of Owo, the monarch asked if I had seen the Ooni, and I told him no. The monarch told me to come and see you as you are the overall authority.”.
