FFK Condemns Attempt To Arrest Igboho By Soldiers, DSS, Police

BY SEGUN ADEBAYO, ABUJA – The former Minister of Aviation, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, on Friday condemned a violent attempt to arrest Chief Sunday Igboho on the Ibadan/Lagos expressway.

In a statement he signed and made available to Forefront, FFK advised that all the security needed to do was to invite him to their office, instead resorting to violent means to arrest.

According to the former minister, “I just spoke to my brother Sunday Igboho. He told me there was a violent attempt to arrest him this afternoon by a joint team of soldiers, DSS operatives and policemen numbering about 40 on the Ibadan/Lagos Expressway whilst he was on his way to see Baba Ayo Adebanjo in Lagos.

“I condemn this attempt to ambush and abduct him. It is not only reckless but also very dangerous.

“If the security agencies want to see him all they need to do is to invite him to their office.

“I am not aware of any crime that he has committed and I urge restraint on all sides.

“Let me also send a warning to the FG that Sunday Igboho is a hero to millions of Yorubas and either killing him or detaining him unlawfully would be the biggest mistake they could make.

“Building bridges, dialogue and the pursuit of peace is better than intimidation, threats, violence and war.

“A word is enough for the wise.”
