The Federal Government on Friday declared it had established a link between
Yoruba nation agitator, Sunday Adeyemo, popularly called Sunday Igboho, and a Boko Haram sponsor, Surajo Muhammad.
Muhammad was sentenced to life imprisonment in the United Aram Emirates on charges of financing terrorism.
The government also said that Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, hijacked the EndSARS protests of October last year, even from prison.
The government alleged that within the period of 2013 to 2020, Igboho received N127m from several financiers including an unidentified federal lawmaker.
These allegations were reeled out Friday by the Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, who read from the findings of a Presidential committee set up to investigate Igboho and Kanu.
The committee was made up of 24 members, who were drawn from the Federal Ministry of Justice, the Federal Ministry of Information, the Nigeria Police Force, the Department of State Services, the National Intelligence Agency and the Defence Intelligence Agency.
“The report revealed that Sunday Igboho is a Director and signatory to Adesun International Concept Limited registered on April 23, 2010. Adesun International Concept Limited also has Oladele Oyetunji and Aderopo Adeyemo as directors. Sunday Igboho is linked to 43 bank accounts in nine banks.
“The major financier of the fugitive and separatists was found to be a federal lawmaker in the National Assembly. A total sum of N127, 145,000 was received by Igboho from his financiers between October 22, 2013, and September 28, 2020, through Adesun International Concept Ltd accounts.
“A total sum of N273,198,200 transaction outflows was recorded from Sunday Igboho’s account between March 15, 2013, and March 11, 2021. Investigation reveals that Adesun International Concept Ltd (belonging to Igboho) transferred the sum of N12, 750,000 to AbbalBako& Sons,” he said.
