The State Security Services (SSS) has denied that it’s men attempted to arrest self-acclaimed Yoruba activist, Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as “Igboho”, contrary to some media reports

SSS spokesman Peter Afunanya said this in a statement on Friday in Abuja.

Mr. Afunanya said the publication that some personnel of the service attempted to arrest Igboho at Ibadan in Oyo State was not true.

On Friday, a video circulated online showed Igboho being whisked away by his supporters in defiance to a blockade by security personnel which included officers of the SSS and Operation Burst, a special joint security task force in Oyo State.

Igboho later told the media that he was disappointed that he was attacked by men of SSS without committing any offence.

Media reports also said Igboho had alleged that men of the service were acting on the instruction of unknown authorities who attempted to prevent him from moving around in Ibadan and beyond.

The report further said Igboho told the media that in spite of attempts by SSS to stop him, he was able to have his way to his scheduled meeting venue.
