The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi revealed that Yoruba agitator, Sunday Adeyemo, better known as Sunday Igboho landed in his current mess after failing to yield to his advice following his meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari.
He said the agitator didn’t listen to him as he was being deceived by some people who gave him the wrong advice.
He said Igboho failed to listen to the president’s warning due to wrong advice from people.
The monarch spoke during an interview with BBC Yoruba.
According to him,“Many people advised him wrongly. He listened to them. He started abusing everyone, including monarchs.
“After I left President Buhari’s place, I called on monarchs and elders of Yoruba land for a meeting to advise Igboho to exercise patience but he got carried away by the praises of those who were not even solidly behind him.
“He hurled so many bad words, but he is still our son. God owns forgiveness. We’ve forgiven him. If he had listened, he wouldn’t have found himself in his current travail”.
Igboho has been in detention in Benin Republic following his arrest while trying to move to Germany after he was decalred wanted.
His house was raided by the men of the Department of State Services, DSS, on July 1.
