Igboho said he was in his house around 1:30 am and that he heard gunshots in front of his house and shout, saying that the people were saying they were DSS and soldiers and asked him to come out.

He said he peeped through his window and that he saw the gunmen dressed in DSS and Nigerian army uniform, adding that he was surprised as he did not kill anybody.

Igboho stated that the attack came as a surprise to him because he is an activist for the safety of the people and that he is a violent-free man.

According to him, he is fighting for the people, and that the proposed rally was supposed to be peaceful.

“I fight for my family (Yoruba) because Fulani bandits killed my family, rape them. Government refused to do the right thing for my family. That is why I am fighting for them, so I am surprised.

“They killed two people during the shooting, and they destroyed my property and my vehicles”.
