Nationnewslead reports that The Defence Headquarters said it has launched a probe into the allegations that some ‘soldiers’ were caught spying on the residence of a Yoruba activist, Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho.
The DHQ dismissed the allegations that the Federal Government masterminded the incident, pointing out that the person involved was a serial impersonator and not a soldier as alleged.
A footage of the incident had shown the two alleged spies being pursued by Igboho’s supporters in Ibadan as they fled on a motorcycle.
They were subsequently caught and taken to Igboho’s residence in the Soka area of Ibadan.
But the acting Director, Defence Media Operations, Brig. Gen. Bernard Onyeuko, in a statement on Saturday, titled, ‘Re: Sunday Igboho apprehends alleged soldiers, accuses Federal Government of spying on him,’ dismissed accusations that the FG orchestrated the incident over comments made by Igboho that Yorubas were no longer a part of Nigeria.
He said, “For the avoidance of doubt, preliminary investigation has so far revealed that one of the alleged ‘soldiers’ is a serial impersonator.
“Meanwhile, credible eyewitnesses and sources have also revealed that some associates of Igboho went in pursuit of some individuals when the motorbike conveying the impersonator and one Nigerian Air Force officer ran into them.’’
