Igboho Denies Turning Into Cat During DSS Raid
Sunday Igboho, a prominent Yoruba Nation activist, has dismissed rumours that he transformed into a cat during a midnight raid on his home by the Department of State Services (DSS) in July 2021.
In an interview, Igboho said that nothing of that sort happened during the DSS raid, which resulted in the death of two of his associates and the arrest of 12 others.
He explained that the DSS shot indiscriminately during the raid, killing several cats that he kept as pets in his house.
He said, “It is true that some cats were killed during the attack. Because the DSS just kept firing bullets in all directions. I was rearing cats as pets, and I had many of them in my house. So, anything or movement attracted sporadic gunshots.”
He added that the DSS wanted to either kill him or arrest him and take him to an unknown destination, but God protected him from their evil plans.
He said, “Their mission was to either kill me or arrest me and take me to an unknown destination, but the Almighty God is greater than anybody in this world, including the despotic ex-President Muhammadu Buhari.”
Igboho also said that he did not know whether the DSS brought three herbalists during the raid, as some reports claimed.
Igboho is currently facing trial in Benin Republic, where he was arrested while trying to flee to Germany. He is wanted by the Nigerian government for allegedly stockpiling arms and inciting violence in his quest for a separate Yoruba nation.
