Popular Socialist, Chief Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, has said that he was not planning to launch reprisal attack on the killer of his aide, Ebeneezer Abiola at Oke-Fia area in Osogbo, Osun State.
Ebenezer, who is popularly known as Biola Igboho, was allegedly murdered by a suspected political thugs over superiority tussle. The incident has caused apprehension as residents panic fearing that Igboho might strike in vengeance.
Igboho is popular as a powerful man because of his role in the Ife/Modakeke communal war. His close associate said Igboho was sad over the death of Ebenezer.
Speaking on the death of Ebenezer through a press statement made available by his media aide, Olakunle Taiwo, Igboho debunked the insinuation of the reprisal attack.
He said: “Ebeneezer was a good and loyal boy who didn’t pass his boundary. Even when I travel out of the country for weeks he followed my instructions, likewise others who are with me. Everybody sees all my aides as fine boys and I always tell them to maintain peace at all times.
“His death was so painful, I must confess, but I have no plan to launch any reprisal attack whatsoever. A lot of people are angry about the matter and want us to revenge but I have said nobody should take laws into his hands because it is not a war.”
“Influential people in the Police and politicians in Abuja and Osun State have called me to sympathize with me. I have taken a lawful step by meeting with the Police to ensure the murderers are brought to book.
“So, those panicking that I would bounce on the state and destroy or disrupt her peace are from troublemakers who want to drag my name into the mud. But I am not bothered; I will not fight an unlawful fight. Justice will be sought in the right way,” he said.
