Sunday Adeyemo, also known as Sunday Igboho, a Yoruba Nation activist, has filed a lawsuit against the Aare Onakakanfo of Yorubaland, Iba Gani Adams, for alleged defamation.
Igboho’s legal team, led by J. A. Sanusi, brought the case before an Oyo High Court in Ibadan. Igboho is seeking N500 million in compensation from Adams for making defamatory statements about him.
According to Igboho, Adams accused him of being a serial killer and assassin for prominent politicians, including President Bola Tinubu, during an audio conversation in 2021.
In addition to the compensation, Igboho is requesting the court to order the payment of exemplary and aggravated damages in the amount of N500 million in his favor. The cost of litigation is estimated at N10 million.
In the court documents filed by Sanusi, Adams is quoted as saying, “I was not against Igboho until he became close to Tinubu. You know I get my information from different angles as Aare Onakakanfo of Yorubaland.
He was with Lagos State Governor’s Chief of Staff, Tayo Ayinde, yesternight from the information at my disposal. He left Tayo Ayinde around 2.45 am, and you know Tinubu uses him (Tayo Ayinde) to coordinate criminal activities. He was compensated with the position of Chief of Staff.”
