“Some Yorubas Helped Buhari Try to Kill Me”: Sunday Igboho Breaks Silence on Ex-President’s Death

• Yoruba Nation agitator Sunday Igboho has described late Buhari as a “criminal' who tried to kill him
• He recalled the July 2021 midnight raid on his Ibadan home, allegedly ordered by the late president
• Igboho thanked God for being alive to witness Buhari’s death and called out Yoruba collaborators

While tributes and condolences continue to pour in following the death of former President Muhammadu Buhari, Yoruba Nation activist Sunday Igboho is taking a different stance.

Reacting shortly after the announcement of Buhari’s passing in a London clinic at age 82, Igboho shared a video with his supporters. But rather than mourn, he reflected on what he described as an attempt on his life allegedly ordered by the former Nigerian leader.

Legit.ng, meanwhile, reported that the Federal Government had declared Tuesday, June 15, a public holiday in honour of the late Nigerian leader.

“Buhari sent DSS and soldiers to kill me” - Ighoho

Igboho revisited the infamous July 1, 2021, raid on his Ibadan residence, which he believed was a planned assassination attempt orchestrated by the Buhari-led administration.

He stated:

“The criminal man that sent DSS and the military to come and kill me in the middle of the night... He’s gone, but I’m still alive.”

During that raid, several of his associates were reportedly killed, and his home was ransacked. Igboho managed to escape, later resurfacing in the Republic of Benin.

He maintained that his only “offense” was advocating for Yoruba self-determination — a stance that landed him on the radar of the Nigerian security forces.

In his message, the activist didn’t just point fingers at Buhari. He also accused some Yoruba individuals of being part of the attack on him.

He added:

“Criminal Fulani man that joined hands with stupid Yoruba people to come and kill me. But God said no.”

He declared that Buhari’s death should serve as a lesson to Nigerians, especially those who abuse power or align with oppressive forces.
