Leave Sunday Igboho alone, he’s a hero to his people – Mailafia to Security Agents

A former Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Obadiah Mailafia has told security agents not to arrest activist Sunday Adeyemi ‘Igboho’.

The economist said this on Wednesday during an interview on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily, adding that he is fighting for his people.

Let me make this point clear. Under our constitution, under our laws and by the precepts of international laws, global ethics, natural justice and equity, the people who are about to die have a right to defend themselves, so they (security agencies) will be wise not to go after Igboho,” he said. “They should leave that man alone; he is a hero of his people.”

Igboho shot to prominence in January 2021 when he issued a one-week ultimatum to criminal herders to leave Ibarapa, Oyo State following a crisis that hit the area.
