The Federal Government on Friday identified the sponsors of Yoruba nation agitator,  Sunday Adeyemo, also known as Sunday Igb

This is as the government said Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the proscribed IPOB, intensified his subversive campaign, using online Radio Biafra to instigate violence and incite members of IPOB to commit violent attacks against civil and democratic institutions, particularly the security personnel, Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), and civilians

Disclosing this in Abuja at a press conference on Investigation Reports On Acts Of Terrorism And Allied Offences Perpetrated By Nnamdi Kanu And Report On the Sponsors And Financiers Of Sunday Igboho And Associates, Attorney General of the Federation And Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, SAN, said the Federal Government remains resolute in its determination to have a peaceful Nigeria.

He noted that the Federal Government will do the needful, within the context of the legal provisions, in ensuring that the matter is giving the deserved attention and those found guilty will be made to face the wrath of the law

According to Malami, a committee set up by the Federal Government unravelled how Igboho got monies from 43 bank accounts, across nine banks

He said: “The Federal Government has received the report on financers of Adeniyi Sunday Adeyemo a.k.a Sunday Igboho.  The report revealed that Sunday Igboho is a Director and signatory to Adesun  International Concept Limited registered on 23rd April, 2010.

“Adesun International Concept Limited also has Oladele Oyetunji and Aderopo Adeyemo as Directors. Sunday Igboho is linked to 43 bank accounts in 9 banks

“The major financier of the fugitive and separatists was found to be a Federal Law Maker in the National Assembly. A total sum of OlN127, 145,000 was received by Igboho from his financiers between 22nd October, 2013 and 28th September, 2020 through Adesun International Concept Ltd accounts.

“A total sum of N273,198,200 transaction outflows was recorded from Sunday Igboho’s account between 15th March, 2013 and 11 the March, 2021
