Yoruba activist, Sunday Adeyemo popularly called Sunday Igboho on Tuesday has said those that set fire on his house are “cowards” who hide under the dark to commit crime.
“They are cowards. They should have confronted me in daytime and should have come to my new house, where I am living to prove they are bold enough,” he said.
The Ibadan based agitator of Odudua republic who did not attribute the of burning his house to a particular tribe, however, suspected it must be collaborators from within.
“I wasn’t in the house when the incident happened. My brothers slept in the house, they are in the best position to say what they saw. I cannot attribute the attack to any tribe,” he said.
