He claimed security forces failed to locate him, instead killing a cat they believed to be his transformed form, and even brought in a fake babalawo (traditional priest) to perform rituals aimed at apprehending him.
Speaking in Yoruba, Igboho said,
"I had to open the door of the room when 'dudu' was been beaten. They came in but didn't see me & I watched them kill the Cat they saw cause they thought I turned to a Cat. I even watched them bring a fake babalawo to do a little ritual. God saved me."
The 2021 raid occurred amid Igboho's high-profile campaign against banditry and Fulani herdsmen violence in Southwest Nigeria. He later fled to Benin Republic where he was detained.
No official comment has yet been issued by the DSS on the latest recounting of the events.
