Founder of Divine Seed of God Chapel Ministries Ibadan, Prophet Wale Olagunju, has narrated his encounter with embattled Yoruba nation agitator, Sunday Adeyemo popularly known as Sunday Igboho.
Sunday Adeyemo is in prison in Benin Republic. The Yoruba activist was arrested by the operatives of Brigade criminelle (Criminal Brigade) on July 19 in Cotonou.
Despite efforts to get him released, Adeyemo has spent about 177 days in detention.
Speaking on his encounter during an interview with Yoruba Tooto TV, Olagunju said: “I went to Cotonou twice, I met the man (Igboho) and we spoke.
“But unfortunately, there are about two or three challenges he’s currently facing. I thank God for saving his life when he escaped the invasion last year.
”It is quite bad that many traditional rulers are not rallying round him today for his release. They can’t speak in unison.
“There are about three influential persons who are behind his predicament. Many people who we thought will stand by him are nowhere to be found.
“It is my prayer that God will deliver him from his enemies. Many are shouting that they are planning to poison him but they are not fighting hard to secure his release.
“I spoke with him, and we converted him, he has accepted Christ into his life. He is now Apostle Sunday Adeyemo Igboho and not the “Oosa baba Dami”, his followers pushed him and abandoned him in Cotonu.
“He spent Christmas, New Year in detention, and I’m very much pained. God directed me to meet him, and we spoke with him about the word of God.
“I went to preach to him that he should not feel forsaken but he should accept God into his life.
“There are many fake news that he is sick, and has ailments, that’s not true, he is hale and hearty. Sunday Igboho is not a terrorist. It is our people that made the government think he is a terrorist. If he had not come out, the herdsmen would have killed our people.
“Igboho is a just man, in an unjust society. I support him wholeheartedly.”
He carpeted Igboho’s aides for contributing to his woes, especially in abusing elders and speaking recklessly.
