The Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Rashidi Adewolu Ladoja, has pledged to intervene in the challenges facing Yoruba Nation agitator, Chief Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, whose bank accounts were frozen by the Federal Government.

Igboho, accompanied by his supporters, paid a visit to the monarch at his Bodija residence in Ibadan on Monday, where both men held a closed-door meeting that lasted about 40 minutes.

According to a statement from Igboho’s media office on Wednesday, discussions focused on insecurity in the South-West, bandit attacks in parts of Kwara State, and his lingering face-off with the Federal Government.

“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,” the statement partly read.

It will be recalled that in July 2021, operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS), with the support of soldiers, raided Igboho’s Soka residence in Ibadan, killing two of his aides and arresting 13 others, after accusing him of stockpiling arms.

During the visit, Igboho congratulated Oba Ladoja on his coronation as the 44th Olubadan of Ibadanland, describing him as a leader widely loved across Yorubaland. He also expressed willingness to work with the Federal Government to improve security in the region.

“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,” Igboho said.
