Nnamdi Kanu: Arrest Sunday Igboho for treason – MACBAN tells Tinubu

The Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN) has called on President Bola Tinubu to arrest and prosecute Yoruba nation agitator Sunday Adeyemi, also known as Igboho.

MACBAN referenced the arrest and prosecution of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), as a precedent for Igboho’s case.

This call comes in response to Igboho’s recent remarks advocating for the removal of Fulani herders from the Southwest. MACBAN’s National President, Baba Othman Ngelzarma, labeled Igboho’s statements as unlawful and tantamount to treason, urging Tinubu and relevant security agencies to take action against him.

In a statement he signed, Ngelzarma said: “We call on the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR) and relevant security agencies to arrest and prosecute Sunday Igboho for making this unlawful statement that amounts to treason because he is asking for the actualisation of Oduduwa nation.

“His statements are unlawful. If Nnamdi Kanu will be held behind bars for a similar offence, we see no reason why Sunday Igboho will be allowed to go scot-free without being arrested and prosecuted.”
