‘Who’s financing who?’ Sunday Igboho lambasts FG over sponsor allegations

Popular Yoruba nation activist, Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho has questioned the claim by the Minister of Justice and Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami that he was being sponsored by a National Assembly member.

Recall that TopNaija had reported that the Minister, on Friday during a press conference in Abuja stated that the secessionist has 43 accounts in different banks, stressing that some financers of Igboho have consistently deposited funds in the accounts.

Reacting to the claim, Ighoho, in a statement by his counsel, Chief Yomi Aliu said he is a businessman and not a terrorist. He also challenged Malami to mention the particular lawmaker he claimed to be his major financer.

The statement reads in part, “The picture the AGF wanted to paint is that our client is being financed by Abdullah Umar, allegedly involved in terrorist financing. Who is now financing who?

“Again, Chief Adeyemo is a car dealer trading in the name of Adesun International Concept Ltd. Does it mean that anybody buying a car from him or selling a car to him is a terrorist?

“I challenge the Hon AGF to mention the lawmaker that sent money to Chief Sunday Adeyemo for terrorist act whether he would not be damnified in exemplary damages for defamation”.

Meanwhile, human rights activist, Deji Adeyanju, has attacked the Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Federation, Abubakar Malamu, for linking Yoruba Nation agitator, Sunday Igboho to terrorism.

Adeyanju in reaction to Malami’s statement said the minister should be selling recharge cards in Kebbi.

He wrote, “AGF Malami says Sunday Igboho may be linked to terrorism financing because he did a N12m transfer to a Bureau De Change.”

“This man should be selling recharge card in Kebbi.”
