Sunday Igboho The Nigerian Yoruba self-determination campaigner, Chief Sunday Adeniyi Adeyemo, said on Tuesday that the attack on congregants at St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church in Owo, Ondo State, vindicated him.
Sahara Reporters was the first to report on the Sunday Igboho reaction to the church killing on Friday.
The 50-year-old activist claimed that he had alerted his people about terrorists who were accused of slaughtering around 50 congregants at the church during a service last Sunday.
According to an audio message given to Politics Nigeria on Tuesday morning, Igboho also urged Yorubas to unite in order to improve the situation.
- “I pray to God that we don’t experience such again. I pray to God to comfort the families of the victims.
- “My fathers and mothers, can you see that I have been vindicated? I was not in a battle with any governor or senator. But what I envisaged, you didn’t see it. Now, can you all see?
- “Well, the situation can still be redeemed. I want Yoruba people to be united before it is too late.
- I want South-West leaders to support me and other courageous Yoruba sons and daughters so that we can guard against these wicked acts.
- If I offend anyone, I ask for pardon, please ”Sunday said according to the transcript of the audio.
