Igboho in the statement entitled, “Warning against using Sunday Igboho’s name indiscriminately”, said “on no account should anybody attack any public place or security personnel on the pretense of agitating for YORUBA NATION.”

According to him, there is the need for groups and individuals claiming to be agitating for Yoruba nation to give adequate respect to his family by stop “calling his mum out for anything public.”

“He will also like people to respect his family by not calling his mum out for anything public. Igboho for now has no authentic mouth piece anywhere. In that wise people are advised to take anything said by anybody claiming to be from him with a pinch of salt.

“The exception is the statement by his lead counsel. Let’s respect the dead. On no account should anybody attack any public place or security personnel on the pretense of agitating for YORUBA NATION,” he said.
