Sunday Igboho Owns 43 Bank Accounts, Sponsors Identified, FG Claims
THE Federal Government of Nigeria, on Friday, claimed it had identified the sponsors of Yoruba nation agitator, Sunday Adeyemo, widely known as Sunday Igboho.
This is as the government said Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the proscribed IPOB, intensified his subversive campaign, using online Radio Biafra to instigate violence and incite members of IPOB to commit violent attacks against civil and democratic institutions, particularly the security personnel, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and civilians.
Disclosing this in Abuja at a press conference on Investigation Reports On Acts Of Terrorism And Allied Offences Perpetrated By Nnamdi Kanu And Report On the Sponsors And Financiers Of Sunday Igboho And Associates, Attorney General of the Federation And Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, SAN, said the Federal Government remains resolute in its determination to have a peaceful Nigeria.
He noted that the Federal Government will do the needful, within the context of the legal provisions, in ensuring that the matter is giving the deserved attention and those found guilty will be made to face the wrath of the law.
According to Malami, a committee set up by the Federal Government unraveled how Igboho got monies from 43 bank accounts, across nine banks
He said: “The Federal Government has received the report on financers 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 nine banks
“The major financier of the fugitive and separatists was found to be a Federal Law Maker in the National Assembly. A total sum of OlN127, 145,000 was received by Igboho from his financiers between 22nd October, 2013 and 28th September, 2020 through Adesun International Concept Ltd accounts.
“A total sum of N273,198,200 transaction outflows was recorded from Sunday Igboho’s account between 15th March, 2013 and 11 the March, 2021
Investigation reveals that Adesun International Concept Ltd (belonging to Igboho) transferred the sum of N12,750,000 to Abbal Bako & Sons. Igboho is currently in detention in Benin Republic, having fled the country, following a raid on his residence by the Department of State Services (DSS).
