“Neither Igboho Nor His Aides Need Assistance On Bail” – Lawyer Disowns Loyalists Begging Public For Money
“Various peanuts offered by some very loud groups have been turned down”
One of the lawyers handling the cases of Sunday Adeyemo the Yoruba nation agitator popularly known as Sunday Igboho has disowned loyalists soliciting funds from the public.
“Neither Igboho nor his aides need assistance on bail.” Chief Yomi Alliyu, the lawyer asserted in reaction to the development.
This development comes on the heels of a statement released by Igboho’s media person Olayomi Koiki on Friday, August 6, 2021, advocating financial support from the public.
The statement by Lawyer Alliyu which countered Koiki’s move – monitored by societynow.ng on dailypost.ng – reads in part “It has come to our notice that various groups and individuals that have nothing to do with the case filed by Chief Sunday Adeyemo a.k.a Igboho Oosa have been laying claims to sponsoring the suits and/or criticising decisions of court thereon
“We want to be quick to say that as of today no group and/or individual has contributed a kobo to the two cases going on in Nigeria to wit, his aides’ case in Abuja and the Ibadan matter…
“Various peanuts offered by some very loud groups have been turned down by me on my client’s instructions.
“He has been carrying his cross alone with no assistance from home or abroad! People should be brave to challenge any individual and/or group asking them for money on bail on his behalf or those of his aides!
“Bail is free in all Courts in Nigeria and as such neither Igboho nor his aides need assistance on bail. Our client is willing and able to prosecute his matters to logical conclusions without peanuts being offered by those claiming to be involved in his struggle.”
