Chief Sunday Adeyemo Igboho has said the property in his old house set ablaze by unknown arsonists should worth not nothing less than N50 million.
Westerndailynews had earlier reported that Igboho’s house situated at Soka, Ibadan, Oyo State was set ablaze in the early hour of Tuesday a few hours after a meeting was held between Southwest Governors and members of Miyetti Allah.
Narrating the ordeal of the attack, Igboho said the arsonists fired gunshots before breaking in into his old apartment.
He said, “Around 3.30 am today, my younger ones residing at my old house rushed to my gate to wake me up, saying some bandits came to the house, fired gunshots, broke the gate, and set the house ablaze.
“The two persons at the house managed to escape. By the time I got there, the bandits had escaped. So, we called firefighters to help us put out the fire.”
Igboho, however, expressed that those who attacked his house must have had help from some Yoruba people.
“What I find surprising is that some Yorubas are in support of the herdsmen to set my house on fire. I’m saddened by it,” he said.
When asked whom he suspected to be behind the attack, he said, “For now, I do not suspect anyone.” adding that “isn’t it where I stay that they are supposed to come? If they had come to the house where I stay, I would have had evidence for you people (journalists) because they won’t all escape.
“It’s either you meet their dead bodies or meet them with broken legs. I thank God that they applied wisdom by going to a house where they know that I don’t live and destroyed my properties and burnt it down.”
On the level of damage done to his house, he said, “The worth of what was destroyed at my house cannot be less than N50 million.”
When asked if he’s aware of the language spoken by the bandits, Igboho said, “Those who were at the house are the ones who can give an explanation to that, because I wasn’t there. What they said was that they came with about five cars. I can’t tell for sure because I wasn’t there.”
He said his younger brothers who were at the house during the incident escaped unhurt, noting that the incident has been reported to the police who also came to inspect the scene.
