According to Punch News, Igboho was arrested at an airport in Cotonou on Monday night by security forces in Benin.
This came a few days after the Federal Government placed him on a “stop list” after it was gathered that he was trying to acquire a new passport to flee the country.
A person whose name is on the stop-list is denied all constitutional rights and privileges a citizen is entitled to.
Igboho had also been declared wanted by the Department of State Services on allegations of stockpiling arms to destabilize the country.
His house at Sooka in Ibadan was raided by DSS which led to the arrest of 13 of Igboho’s associates.
Two of Igboho’s supporters, later identified as Adogan and Alfa, were also killed during the raid.

Soooo when should we expect Gumi's arrest????
ReplyDeleteCowards!!!!
Abi o,mediator Gumi should be next.
DeleteY'all that supports all these coward will go with them soon.
DeleteAll the criminals and war instigators in Nigeria whether in the North, East or West will be captured and dealt with thoroughly!
What's Gumi's crime?. He is not a terrorist, neither is he a bandit. Having access to bandits and ranting like a lunatic is not enough to arrest him. Terrorists and bandits are killed everyday and some are arrested. America spent 20 years in Afghanistan, with their military might, they couldn't subdue and weaken the Taliban. Today, the Taliban are in control of most of the country sides and expanding the scale of their attack. America spent 2.2 trillion dollars on Afghanistan and thousands of American soldiers died. . Gorilla wars are difficult to win.
DeletePlease tell us what makes Gumi and these other guys the same. Please as objective as possible please. No sentiments or emotions. How has Gumi I Instigated violence, secession or promoted any of these through actions and rhetoric?
DeleteThere is a difference here. A larger percentage of Yoruba do not support the "secessionist" campaign or the method being used by Sunday Igboho. In this case, it is like a coup d'etat in a military regime. Unlike what occurred in the nations you gave as examples. Even most Igbo do not support ipob or Biafra. So, if the people are not ready and supportive and you are mouthing secession and engaging in violence then you are exposed and you would be dealt with like a common criminal
DeleteGood question anon 10:24, I don't want to comment on this post but will respond to your question. I hope you will be sincere enough to answer me too.
DeleteWhen Gunmi told bandits cum Fulani herdsmen terrorist that the solders killing them are Christians, what does that mean? Isn't that instigation pitching the Muslim against Christi's Christians?
@Alexander if we look at this objectively - Sunday Igboho hasn't committed any crime to warrant being put on a wanted list either.
DeleteIf you believe what DSS is saying about finding guns at Igboho's house then it shows you are ignorant of the devices of state police.
If you read your history you will know that Buhari used dss (then sss) in his military regime too.
Igboho was targeted at night because he caught multiple DSS officer spying on his house repeatedly due to his seccessionist rant.
What the government should have done is to invite him and tell him to stop or get a court order against him to stop seccession promotion. That's what a sane democratic government should do. If he doesn't stop - then arrest him constitutionally.
Instead - they attacked his house commando style. Kill two people...Seize passport...siezẹ charms and 'claim they found guns'.
Let's be honest - do you think Igboho is not smart enough to keep guns out of his own house in a private place to avoid dss finding it - especially after he had caught 2 dss spies on his house?
I am just letting you know that the guns they claim to found is most likely a big lie.
We all know Nigerian security agent plant guns on people just to hang them. This is ńot new.
Igboho shouting for Yoruba nation is because bandits and Fulani herds men attacked Yoruba land raping...killing without any resistance and any action. FROM federal govt.
Let's be guided in our utterance lst we are seen to be in support of this satanic government.
Benue state has been overun by bandits and Fulani hedlrdsmen. The governor has cried...talked...shouted....what did Buhari do to that?
Ṣeé Ehn. Until your family member is kidnapped and raped without condom by a foul smelling illiterate Fulani man for free without getting any justice Is when you will hate this govt and everything they stand for.
Gumi knows where bandits are, mediates for them, collects money for them, and that did not tell you something? You know what it tells me? He is one of them! As for the 'tatafo' Alexander running his diarrhea mouth up there, how do you compare America that went to another country to hunt Taliban that are indigenes who knows in and out of their homeland to Nigeria that is fighting terrorists at home? So you will beat your chest and tell me that if Talinas were on American soil they will win America and America will be like Nigeria where the president is complacent and gives the excuse that they cannot run them out? Do you know how many times Isis wanted to penetrate the US? Do you even know that they planted some of their members in the US in the persons of young North Africa and middle east students who started bombing public places, before America wiped them out! If Buhari was the American president by now those ones planted then would have formed a state in the US. Keep giving lame excuses for the lame government.
DeleteAnon 11:28, you are a big liar. Liar liar liar. Gumi collects money for them or try to get them out of kidnapping and banditry as well as knowing how to solve the problem of their reason for joining the evil act?
Delete11.34 you go school at all? Read what the anon wrote and what you wrote and please tell us any difference between the 2. Gumi is an enabler of terrorism, eod.
Delete11:25 You are the ignorant one here. I would rather believe the security agencies than believe a word from Igboho. Unlike you, my comment is not based on emotions. The first time I heard his name and read about him was during the Ife-modakeke crisis. He is a known political thug. If you choose to believe him that's your cup of tea. Don't ever insult my person because of my views. A weakling who hides under anonymous to spew trash
DeleteAnon 10:24, has ran away from my question up there. You see why I don't like engaging these people here but overlook their comments, cos they are always saying nonsense.
DeleteAnyone can and will insult your person if your comment so deserves. Who are you?
DeleteTeejay, I will help the anon. If you were paying attention this was the government response when he made the allegations:
DeleteDISCLAIMER
NIGERIAN ARMY NOT COLLUDING WITH BANDITS
The Nigerian Army has just been alerted to a submission by Sheikh Ahmad Abubakar Gumi when he featured on ARISE TV Morning Show on Wednesday, 23 June 2021 alleging that the Nigerian Military is colluding with marauding bandits who have been responsible for various crimes and atrocities against Nigerians and the Nigerian state.
The Nigerian Army(NA) wishes to state that contrary to Sheik Gumi's claims, the NA remains a bonafide symbol of national unity that has conducted its constitutional responsibilities in the most professional manner in line with global best practices of adherence to the rules of engagement and protection of the fundamental human rights of the citizenry.
The sweeping allegation peddled by the scholar is not only sad and unfortunate, but a calculated attempt to denigrate the Nigerian military and undermine the sacrifices of our patriotic troops, who are working tirelessly to restore peace and stability across the country. It is essential to remind ourselves that these same military, being accused of connivance, are the ones who recently put their lives on the line to rescue abductees of the Government Secondary School, Birnin Yawuri from kidnappers.
While the NA will not attempt to excuse the possibility of black sheep amongst its fold, it must be stated unambiguously that it will not condone any form of sabotage or aiding and assisting the enemy by any personnel, as provisions for dealing decisively with such acts are crystallised in Section 45 (1) of the Armed Forces Act CAP A 20 Laws of the Federation of Nigeria 2004.
It must also be pointed out, that while the military is very much receptive to constructive criticism, it should not be perceived as a gateway for derogatory comments that have the potential to embolden criminals. It is also necessary to reiterate that patriotism must be taken to a trajectory where subversive conversations on the state are brought to the barest minimum.
Opinion leaders are enjoined to demonstrate patriotism in building the peace, rather than being agents of distabilization, thereby aggravating the current security challenges facing the nation.
The NA wishes to reassure law abiding citizens, that troops will continue to conduct themselves professionally in consonance with the code of conduct guiding our operations in all combat engagements, in line with the provisions of the Nigerian Constitution and global best practice. Citizens are enjoined to continue to support military operations by providing useful information to defence and security agencies and together we shall rid our society of these criminal elements.

@Alexander, I don’t have to have ID to tell you the truth. You that put ID on your comments does that change anything? Did it stop you from talking gibberish? Did it tell us who your real Identity is? Keep making lame excuses for lame government. If you are paid for this job, bare in mind that money is not every thing. Conscience is the judge within that every body answers to.
DeleteUse this same energy on bandits and boko haramu terrorists too. Then we will know your intentions are genuine.
ReplyDeleteAnd what makes you think they are not. You people sit behind your keyboards saying all sort of things, thinking all sorts without putting your ears underground.
DeleteAnon10:44 if the are why is banditry and insecurity getting worse?
DeleteAnon wey put ear underground, please put it overground too 🙄🙄
DeleteEesah,El haj,yemi, Alexander, you people should come out of hiding and collect your subs deservedly because you see this lame support you people are giving this wicked govt will soon be over because what this govt is nurturing, will soon locate Una!
DeleteUna well done ooo. Sheikh Gumi is busy negotiating with bandits and kidnappers, nobody has declared him wanted not to talk of arresting him. Bandits now has the effrontery to shoot down our fighter jet yet they are yet to speak the language they will understand even the Kaduna midget called them businessmen.
ReplyDeleteNoooooo
DeleteThey said banditry is a business and that the bandits are not trying to secede.
Talk about all animals are equal but some are more equal than others
You said he was negotiating. How is that the same with those promoting violence and secession through actions and voice? How? He had thought negotiating them out of kidnapping and banditry would help. Did the Yar’Adua and Jonathan government not negotiate with Niger Delta militants? Did GEJ not travel to the creeks on boats as a Vice President? Did Obasanjo not go to talk to some of the affecting boko haram members when they had their early issues with the government? You guys just let emotions and sentiments take away your rationality, no objectivity at all. Fine, we hate that negotiation strategy but Gumi is not on the same ship as the two others.
DeleteHow is Gumi able to get access to negotiate with the bandits but can't lead the federal government to it.
DeleteEric, your head is paining you. How many people did the Niger Delta militants kill or displace? They had a cause and were settled Ok. What of this bandits? Whats their mission? Are u trying to say they will continue like this till eternity? We know this comparison with militants will be their excuse to keep funding them and the modus operandi. We are not as foolish as the Northerns. So the ones who seized a town in Niger and put their flag? And elected their govt nko? This Alexander n Eric coming here to spill trash is Adamu garbage and Lia Mohamed. You ppl are just so daft n we can see thru all ur agenda but know that one day God will arrest all of u and your plan for Nigeria will not be perfected.
DeleteEric, you are stupid!
DeleteSo you compare NDM to these devils... Some of you people that support Buhari lacks good sense of judgement and are insensitive too
Na wa!
ReplyDeleteHmmm ,so Igboho is Nigeria's problem right? Kontinue with your stupidity and cowardice,God is watching and marking time for evil doers and enemies of this Nation.
ReplyDeleteHe is one of them
DeleteAbsolute good news
ReplyDeleteHe was running to go meet his second wife in Germany hahaha 😂😂
ReplyDeleteYou want to destabilised your country but you're running to a country where your "nuisance and lawless" act will never be accepted.
Two gone, more to go hahaha 😂😂😂
I love this news
Nnamdi the coward/killer ❌❌❌
Sunday the killer Igboho ❌❌❌
Now, let their supporters keep crying and wailing hahaha 😂😂😂
Gumi the what?
DeleteThe businessman.
Come out and use your ID nobody will beat you
They are always cowards when it comes to the real actions. They know how to run away from the field when they are most needed.
DeleteID or no ID does not matter. The truth is bitter. Criminals will wake up and form cults, you people follow blindly and when it's time to make noise, you come here asking for ID. Do you get paid for having one here? Go make yourself relevant somewhere like we glorious anonymous.
DeleteAnybody who is a problem to Nigeria, may you be caught like a chicken or monkey and put in a zoolike prison so the other animals in the zoo can walk freely.
Anon 10:49 I don't blame you na. It's Lugard and his gf that I blame
DeleteHmmmm
ReplyDeleteClueless Buhari. So Freedom fighters are their problem? Bandit that shutdown military jets are yet to be arrested or called terrorist.
ReplyDeleteFreedom fighters instigating violence leading to death of people right? You and your media call them bandits, not us. We call them terrorists. By the way, learn to know that guérilla warfare is not the same as protest. Rêcently the head/commander of one of the so-called bandit units was killed. Does that not indicate that there is a fight against them too. These guys are unknown. It is not as if all the so-called bandits are under one umbrella and same location.
DeleteHe is clueless but gradually putting taking over your country eh. Who is clueless here?
DeleteSo Yoruba juju no dey work again? Why will he allow himself caught
ReplyDeleteSame thing that crossed my mind when I read of his arrest.
DeleteHmmmmm, no more freedom in naija,but on a serious note,I think there's more to Sundays igboho agitations, it has political undertone to it, but that doesn't mean he should be treated like a criminal though I believe he's one, my head sef no correct,I dey talk with 2 sides of the mouth,I no understand jare
ReplyDeleteI always laugh when the press call Sunday Igboho an activist. Igboho a known political thug is now an activist to the Nigerian press. We know his anticedents and the role he played in the Ife- Modakeke crisis. It is only in Nigeria the press celebrate criminals. People with no none source of income become rich overnight and they are celebrated and treated like gods.
ReplyDeletePlease uncle share your views on Gumi. Oh, you can't because it's next to impossible for you to be unbiased. Iranu
DeleteWhat no NONE source of income? 🙄
DeleteThe north & fulani militia may be clapping for their president and herder in chief, great grand patron of MACBAN & northern agenda champion GMB, but they and APC are going to get a serious hit in voters empathy from SW, SS, SE, MB, etc in the next election. I know they don't care and believe with their northern numbers, states & Govs, fulani headed INEC, Judiciary, NASS, security agencies, they will rig elections and remain in power, but the SW is odd, they can vote Gov one way and presidency another, whether BAT is made the candidate or not. You go after any southerner against fulani agenda & Nigeria, who agitates for secession but you do nothing about northeners who promote division & terrorism, and ignore the faulty structures, nepotism, injustice, inequality & unfairness that southern agitators complain about in the Nigerian state, u deny it and double down to keep dividing the country & pushing northern interest unfairly, but I don't blame him, I blame southern leaders especially from SW & SE who are thronging & supporting northern leaders on fulani agenda as against southern progressive agenda cus of politics of selfish interest while north adds northern interest/agenda to their own. The north thinks they can always have their cake and eat it and I don't blame then cus it is the south that produces the flour and still gives north the knife to cut the biggest chunk while they make do with crumbs.
ReplyDeleteWhy are you speaking from both sides of your mouth? You praised Buhari for arresting kanu and now you are angry the same Buhari arrested igboho? Your case is pathetic.
DeleteI dont like your Nnamdi kanu nd i don't like anything about APC govt or Buhari...i'll pick Igboho over Kanu hundred times..
DeleteOga, I'm not igbo for your info and I do not support kanu. What I don't like is people speaking from both sides of their mouths. Be man enough to pick a side.
DeletePeople like Iyke are the reason Nigeria will not be good! Buhari will be in his living room looking at him and laughing 😂 😆. How will he even take you seriously? You support one secessionist and hate on another? That is why Fulani will keep peeing on you guys living in that contraption! They know you guys hate yourselves and are mostly hypocrites. You only come out and cry when it affects you and equally praise Buhari when it affects another! If you are praising and criticizing the same person for doing the same thing at different times, he will never take you seriously. When they abducted Nnamdi Kanu, people like Iyke Desmond were all over the place rejoicing and clapping for this same man Buhari that they are condemning now. They knew very well that Buhari and his criminal government violated international laws and violated Kanu’s human rights, but the Iykes of this world clapped for him and started with the comparisons between Kanu’s style and Igboho’s style, just to justify their evil minds on Kanu. The funny thing is that they thought Buhari and his Fulani caliphate government are doing that to Kanu only because he is Igbo. They thought he will spare Igboho because he’s Yoruba, because of their belief that Fulani prefers them as better slaves than the other slaves. No my dear, ‘Nigeria’ is a Fulani enterprise, they will go to any length to break anybody that wants to destroy their enterprise. Iyke and his likes sounded like ‘I know we are both thieves, but I steal with a better style than you’ ,😐 🤔. When military came to Kanu’s house in Umuahia to kill him he ran for his dear life, the Iykes of this world called him a coward, but when they went to kill Igboho in his house and Igboho ran away, they Iykes said it was an abuse of his fundamental human rights. Should I say that this is the law of retributive justice, judging from the speed and the quick succession the Igboho case is happening? I don’t condemn Ignoho, self determination is not a crime! My dear brothers and sisters in Nigeria, this is a time for us to be our brother’s keeper. Don’t just talk when it affects you, if you do, they will not take you seriously knowing you just praised them a few hours ago doing the same thing! Let us put ethnic biases aside, hold the government accountable. Question them for what they are not doing right! When you hear that the government is marginalizing the east or is marginalizing the west, you give good reasons why they should marginalize them, saying the Igbos are bad or Yorubas are bad, etc. This same government will do same to you! Iyke my dear, take heart okay, what ever you enable because it happened to the person you hate, will equally get to the person you like! Moral of my story is, condemn bad and call it bad, no matter who it affects. You don’t have to like Kanu to condemn the government for violating his human rights. He has massive following, I mean people who are ready to take bullets for him across the old east central state, so I don’t think your like or hate matter. But condemn evil when you see it, it might be your turn next!
Delete19:59, beautiful comment.
DeleteAbeg, naijas problem is that we allow sentiment cloud our logical reasoning. These men aren't freedom fighters but instigators of violence while hiding under the guise of secession. See weather we like it or not their actions put them in this mess. Gunmi for all I dislike him and all , he only talks, he didn't mobilize anyone to go commit violent acts. Abeg if they are activists, there are other ways to go about it.
ReplyDeleteHehehehehe. This life is funny sha. I remember how Yoruba people were laughing at kanu 's arrest ,now it's their turn. Surely, this life na turn by turn.
ReplyDeleteOne thing bout the Northerners, they don't care about you. Whether you're being silly, tribalistic, supporting and licking their smelly decayed asses for whatever reason in the world, when they must have been tired of watching you display some epilepsy, they'd arrest you, disgrace you, reduce you to nothing and make the world see you for the dog you are. Lol, those demons aren't loyal and can never be. To those that jubilated and called Kanu all sorts when he was arrested, those that laughed so hard because it was Kanu, isn't Igboho currently eating same breakfast as Kanu? It's either we agree to stand together as one people with one motive with a common enemy and fight together to grab freedom from the Fulani divide and rule government or we keep acting silly because of tribalism and have these abokis win all day, everytime.
Delete@iyke diamond, stop talking from the two sides of your mouth, u are a big hypocrite.
ReplyDeleteU are calling buharu cos his stupidity has affected yorubas right? I remembered when u were laughing at Igbos, calling them all sort of names bcos of MNK, u never see anything continue supporting ur Darling daddy bubu
A person can be against both MNK and Buhari, there is no where it is written if you support one you must be against the other. Life is not all black and white.
DeleteHe never see anything my dear.You see that Iyke Desmond, the greatest hypocrite on this blog.Kai
DeleteAre you minding that one? If you are against secession, then you should be happy that buhari has captured igboho like he did kanu. He praised Buhari to high heavens that now ,but now he condemning him. You never see anything you hear. This is just the beginning. He will come and lie now that he is from Abia state.heheheh.
DeleteI dont like your Nnamdi kanu nd i don't like anything about APC govt or Buhari...i'll pick Igboho over Kanu hundred times..
DeleteBut why deny your people and claim another tribe? Abi you have what Caroline danjuma tattooed on her body?
DeleteIyke Desmond Kanu does not need your like because you are a hypocrite. He already have massive likes from better people. Enjoy your ‘saint’ Buhari, he is doing a 👏 at catching ‘cowards’ who are running for their dear lives. 😀😃😄😁😆😀😃😄😁😆. Chai! Laugh wan finish me for inside my house!
DeleteI thought he said that he has power .Why he didn't escape?
ReplyDeleteWell done to them o.
ReplyDeleteWhy can't they trace bandits, kidnappers and killer herdsmen also?
Stupid ppl.
The evil plans of Buhari and his Fulani criminals will not come to pass in this country. Blood thirsty set of people.
It is coming to pass my dear.Right before our eyes and noses, everything is playing out. Tomorrow, an Okeke will stand up against the incompetence of the Mohammeds, a Gbenga will team up with Mohammed to fight and label Okeke all sorts simply because he's an Okeke, they'd even go as far as celebrating with the Mohammeds because in their head, Okeke has been put in his place. Tomorrow, Mohammed and his siblings will team up and serve Gbenga, Gbenga will come out and wail, you pay attention to understand why Mr Gbenga is wailing and condemning the Mohammeds, you'd understand that he's wailing for being treated the same way he joined his day one enemy to treat Okeke, he turns back to support everything he castigated Okeke for and praise Gbenga for doing same. You'd be wondering if that isn't a case of confusion laced with madness at the same time because how can one person celebrate Kanu's arrest and condemn Igboho's arrest? Oburo ala?
DeleteAnd oh! Why are they just calling out Buhari? Have they suddenly forgotten that Igboho acted all cowardly and fake by trying to escape too? Why did he try to leave his men in prison to run away? Oh my! he's just another coward clown deceiving wailing terrorist like Kanu. Gbogbowa ma la je breakfast. When we're all ready, we'd act right as sane and unbiased hypocritical adults and win.🤧🤒
