The chairman of the park management system disciplinary committee in Oyo State, Alhaji Mukaila Lamidi, popularly known as Auxiliary, has disclosed that Sunday Adeyemo, also known as Sunday Igboho, is behind last week’s violence in Ibadan.
OYOINSIGHT.COM had reported how Sunday Igboho advised Governor Seyi Makinde to warn Auxilliary against causing further trouble within the state capital.
Auxiliary, who disclosed this during an interview with BBC Yoruba, also narrated the cause of the fracas that happened at Soka recently.
According to him, a man named Remi Soka was the one who attacked his ‘boys’, who the government appointed to collect levies from motorcyclists at Soka area in Ibadan.
He stressed further that when he visited the place, Remi Soka and his boys also attacked him and even stoned his car. I had to stop the my car and they ran away. He can’t wait for me. But many of our people had been injured. Even, members of the ACOMMORAN in that area have come to report him. He is collecting levy from commercial drivers for Sunday Igboho who is not from Ibadan.
He said, “Sunday Igboho is my boy, despite the that he sent suspected hired killers, who were armed like SARS officials, to attack me along Ibadan-Iwo road during the burial of Alhaji Tawa.
“In fact, he used to shout that there is nothing the government can do because, according him, there is no government. However, Igboho can’t say any of these things in my presence because he knows that he is the one causing violence.
“Igboho supported the APC government together with Fele (the former NURTW chairman) to the extent that they sent me to jail for an offense I know nothing about but I am back and the government I support is in power, yet you are telling me we won’t serve our tenure peacefully.”
He added that from time immemorial, only an NURTW member who worked for a gubernatorial candidate will be appointed as the chairman of NURTW when the candidate emerges.
He cited the example of the late former chairman, Alhaji Taofeek Oyerinde, who was known as Fele, who worked for the immediate past governor of the state, Abiola Ajimobi, and was appointed to chair NURTW in the state.
He also noted that he is not interested in fighting anybody anymore because he now does anything Governor Seyi Makinde wants.
