---Challenges Malami to name Lawmaker bankrolling Him
By Niyi Ogungbola
Yoruba nation activist, Sunday Igboho has declared that he is not a Terrorist as allegedly claimed by Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami,but he is a Car Dealer.
He also challenged Malami to mention the lawmaker in the National Assembly who was accused of sponsoring him.
Igboho made this declaration through his Lawyer,Chief Yomi Alliyu,in a statement released in Ibadan,the Oyo State capital.
Igboho also questioned the attempt to link him with a Bureau de change operator, Abdullahi Umar, who was allegedly linked with Boko Haram as one of financers.
“The picture the AGF wanted to paint is that our client is being financed by Abdullah Umar, allegedly involved in terrorist financing. Who is now financing who?”, said Alliyu, a senior advocate of Nigeria.
“Again, Chief Adeyemo is a car dealer trading in the name of Adesun International Concept Ltd.
“Does it mean that anybody buying a car from him or selling a car to him is a terrorist?
“I challenge the Hon AGF to mention the lawmaker that sent money to Chief Sunday Adeyemo for terrorist act whether he would not be damnified in exemplary damages for defamation”, Alliyu stated.
Meanwhile,First Awareness recalled that in a press statement in Abuja on Friday,the AGF claimed that a report by a Federal Government inter-ministerial committee has identified an unnamed Federal lawmaker as the sponsor of Sunday Igboho’s agitation for the Yoruba nation.
"Malami said in the report that they have unravelled how Igboho got monies from 43 bank accounts, across nine banks.
“The Federal Government has received the report on financiers of Adeniyi Sunday Adeyemo a.k.a Sunday Igboho.
“The report revealed that Sunday Igboho is a Director and signatory to Adesun International Concept Limited registered on 23rd April 2010.
“Adesun International Concept Limited also has Oladele Oyetunji and Aderopo Adeyemo as Directors. Sunday Igboho is linked to 43 bank accounts in 9 banks." the AGF stated.
