As the Federal Government of Nigeria continues its efforts at staving off regional agitations, its attention has been turned to the activities of the Yoruba Nation separatist group, and its leaders, Prof Adebanji Akintoye and Sunday Adeyemo also known as Sunday Igboho.

Sunday PUNCH, relying on information from the Office of the Attorney General of the Federation reports that the Abubakar Malami (SAN),  is currently considering taking actions against the group, and that its eventual proscription is imminent.

It may be recalled that the government has been making frantic efforts to have Sunday Igboho extradited from the Republic of Benin, where he was arrested on July 19, 2021, by the Interpol at the Cadjèhoun Airport as he and his wife attempted to flee the country following the invasion of the home by the DSS in Ibadan, Oyo State, Southwest Nigeria.

Also, as the Federal Government was plotting to arrest Prof. Akintoye, Igboho’s partner in the struggle for the secession of Yoruba from Nigeria, the 86-year-old professor of History was also reported to have fled the country.

Prof Akintoye, the leader of the umbrella body of the Yoruba self-determination group known as Ilana Omo Oodua, and Igboho, have been seen together at press conferences and rallies championing the cause to secede from Nigeria and establish a Yoruba Nation.
