Chief Sunday Adeyemo, the Yoruba Nation agitator, who is more popularly known as Sunday Igboho, has debunked the rumour of death in an undisclosed hospital stating that he is “alive and well.”
Igboho who debunked the death rumour in a statement issued through his spokesman, Olayomi Koiki, described the report circulating on social media as “false” and “misleading”.
He said that the social media post, which was shared on the Seyi Tinubu Youth Battalion Facebook page, claimed further that details of his (Igboho’s) supposed death would be disclosed soon.
Koiki maintained that the Yoruba Nation leader is in good health and currently spending time with his family.
He confirmed that there have been no incidents of illness or hospitalisation involving Igboho, dismissing the death claim as a baseless fabrication aimed at causing confusion and damaging the freedom fighter’s reputation.
“We want to assure the general public and supporters of the Yoruba Nation movement that Dr. Chief Sunday Adeyemo Igboho is alive, well, and in high spirits,” Koiki said.
“There is no truth to the rumors being spread by certain individuals and groups trying to mislead the public. This is a deliberate attempt to tarnish his image and derail the ongoing self-determination struggle.”
Koiki urged the public to disregard the false information and warned against the spread of unverified news. He reiterated that such malicious tactics would not weaken the resolve of Dr. Igboho or the Yoruba Nation movement.
“Let it be known that our mission for the self-determination of the Yoruba people remains strong and unshaken. We call on our supporters to remain vigilant and focused on our collective goal,” he added.
The statement concluded with an appeal for verifying facts before sharing sensitive information.
The public Is advised to rely only on official communication channels for updates concerning Sunday Igboho and the Yoruba Nation movement.
