A renowned Yoruba rights advocate Sunday Igboho accuses ex-President Muhammadu Buhari of orchestrating the deaths of his loved ones and attempting to take his own life.
The outspoken figure claims that Buhari’s actions were driven by a desire to quell his calls for justice against armed Fulani herdsmen in the Southwest region.
Igboho alleges that Buhari dispatched agents from the Department of State Security (DSS) and military forces to kill him within his home.
He also states that this is part of a broader pattern of violence directed towards him and members of his family, which includes the loss of his mother, siblings, and friends.
This statement comes amidst renewed efforts by Igboho to unite the Yoruba people in defense of their lands and resources, particularly against the threat posed by armed Fulani herders.
“Buhari caused problem in my life, he killed my sibling, he killed my friend and he also killed my mother,” he said.
“He’ll die mysteriously with his children. Buhari is Fulani, it’s we Yoruba people that should be careful.”
He added, “Buhari sent his soldiers and DSS to arrest me in my house because I said Yorubas are not slaves to Fulanis, they can’t suppress us in our father’s land.
“Fulanis can’t stop our fathers and mothers from going to their farms. But, I’m back with the power of God and authority not that of man.”
