Yoruba nation agitator, Sunday Adeyemo, better known as Sunday Igboho, says the Olubadan of Ibadan, Oba Rashidi Ladoja, has promised to intervene in his ongoing challenges with the Federal Government, including the freezing of his bank accounts.
Igboho disclosed this after visiting the Olubadan at his Bodija residence in Ibadan on Monday. He was accompanied by his supporters, and the meeting with the monarch lasted about 40 minutes.
A statement released from Igboho’s media office on Wednesday, October 1, noted that discussions during the visit centred on insecurity in the South-West, recent bandit attacks in parts of Kwara State, and his lingering case with the Federal Government.
According to the statement, “The Olubadan promised to intervene on the challenges faced by Igboho, including his designation as a wanted person and the embargo placed on his bank accounts.”

It would be recalled that in 2021, operatives of the Department of State Services, supported by soldiers, raided Igboho’s Soka residence in Ibadan, killing two of his aides and arresting 13 others, after accusing him of stockpiling arms.
Igboho, during the visit, congratulated the Olubadan on his ascension to the throne, describing him as a highly respected leader.
“Olubadan has been a father figure to me since his time as governor. His reign will no doubt further promote peace, unity, and development in Ibadanland and Yorubaland,” he said.
He also expressed readiness to work with the Federal Government to improve security across the South-West.
