PLEASE WHAT SUNDAY IGBOHO IS FIGHTING FOR WAS IT NOT THE SAME THING MNK MaziNnamdiKanu IS FIGHTING FOR? BECAUSE HERE YOU ADDRESSED HIM AS FREEDOM FIGHTER BUT ADDRESSED MNK AS SECESSIONIST. YOUR HATE IS TOO BAD.

GIVE NIGERIA PEACE (GNP) stands with whoever will bring peace. Sunday Adeyemo aka Sunday Igboho is a hero for expelling the Fulanis Herdsmen that are kidnapping and raping our kinsmen and women. Banning open grazing will bring peace to Nigeria. Zoning Presidency will bring peace

All work for good every southerners will rejoice at end because God is making foundation to break up zoo called Nigeria

Running after making mouth? Obviously, juju na scam. Is it not better to be arrested in Nigeria? Now, let’s wait for another lie from his handlers.

4)....wrongful decisions, I hope that which they dread most will not eventually be the end of these series of NigeriaGov drama.

3)...robbing us of our peace? Does NigeriaGov think by arresting _IgbohoSunday and MaziNnamdiKanu, the struggle to secede will die a natural death? Govt seems to be fanning embers of chaos & destruction to the entire entity called Nigeria by their own actions and.......

2)..freedom fighter who has killed nobody? Is it because he is clamouring for secession? When has the right to self determination become a crime? Why is NigeriaGov more interested in quelling opposition voices more than dealing with the real terrorists and killer herdsmen....

1) If 1,000 members of the boko haram who killed, mained & destroyed lives & properties causing permanent scars & everlasting sorrows to their victims were set free to go without any charges by NigeriaGov, what will be the justification for arresting _IgbohoSunday a........

For what crime exactly?

If this moment doesn't unite the Southerners then we are doomed....

I thought Yorubas and Benin republic are brothers. How come fulani is succeeding in using brothers against brothers ? How come brothers are selling out brothers to enemies ? Bible said in the last days men shall be lovers of money, truce-breakers, etc. The last days are here.

If you want this contraption called one Nigeria to dissolve please sign simon_ekpa don't pay money to them rather Share it after signing.

Few weeks after the Lekki shooting, APC overwhelmingly won a senatorial bye elections. After this suffering, human beings born by women would still queue to vote APC and defend it in 2023.

The hunter will soon become the hunted

Interpol and Benin Government refused to hand him over to Nigeria 🇳🇬 Government because they can't guaranty his life after DSS Killings in Igboho house

I hope he will open the DSS cell with his magic keys.

Mr Adeyemo’s handlers didn't do a good job. I thought they had long term plans. Just one onslaught, the cohort collapsed and now this. That is disappointing. They should have known that Buhari would come for them. Sadly, it's another happy day for the herdsmen empire.

Here is the man for better Nigeria. Let support the Youthful and Useful Man from Kogi State. A visionary young man and vibrant enough to reunite and rebuild our dear country, OfficialGYBKogi is the man. Yahaya Bello for better Nigeria.

Nawa for this Country oo. Federal government is busy pampering Killer Bandits/Terrorist.. May God deliver us from this cursed country.

Na lie Jor, person way disappear

Sunday Igboho has a very good heart and a love for the Yoruba nation, the same way Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has for Ndi Igbo, but there are too many saboteurs and traitors among my father's and mother's people, it breaks my heart greatly.

Struggle continues. If Sunday Igboho is truly arrested, 20 people like Kanu and Sunday Igboho will rise again to deliver the oppressed Southern and western Nigerians. Quote me

Sunday Igboho was betrayed the same way Mazi Nnamdi Kanu was sold out by his own people, when are we going to free ourselves from bondage when we are constantly selling each other out to the enemies, this is way too much.

The Cow could not arrest his terrorists family up north but focus his attention on the freedom fighters down south

Do you also Wanna grow your followers? I really want to grow mine.. Let us follow each other and grow followers.. I folo back, I promise

Nah midnight Nigeria dss like to dey arrest now

Would he be in this situation if he was fighting for justice and fairness for the common man? Freedom for a few will gather only support from a few. Very unfortunate.

While Buhari brothers continues to destroy lives and properties unimpeded accross Nigeria.

If only they were this tactical with terrorists and bandits

Freedom fighter 😂😂😂

Uk, US, Britain and other nation you’re calling knows about what’s happening in Nigeria, why haven’t they responded? Simply because they have their on problems and challenges. We should keep Nigeria in peace, maybe after this regime we sort for referendum. God please heal Nigeria

Federal government, you arrest igboho , you're showing power kudos to You. BUT you must arrest bandit chare man GUMI mayeti ala' I calling on yorubas monarch to fight now owoo baba damy igbohooooo ooooosa must be release now or if yoruba land want to be A land of COWS

Free Igboho now !!! I mean right now. The whole world is watching 🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽.

LoL

Finally nnamdi kanu will meet his friend 😂

Evul Rufai came to National TV to say Bandit terrorists are Business men, Sheikh Gumi said they are business men but Foolish Yoruba People are defending him and supporting him to arrest thier own brother

Nigeria is not safe

For what?

Which way Nigeria?

This must be a fake news of the century!

COCOPACOPIACO1 Zoological Republic of Nigeria

I thought Igboho is in Nigeria then how come this news

Dem go thief person from Kenya in far away East Africa,na cotonou wey be Lagos extension dem no go fit go loot person?! He no run far na... This kind person supposed dey on the move steady..

I don't believe this

Wat a bad news

Well our Southern politicians should know that, we will get them one by one. Buhari get ready for the destruction you call for.

Unfortunately Yoruba youths are not supporting him. I blamed him and his advicer for using Cotonu routes to travel when he knew nigeria ambassador to Benin republic is formar Chief of Army staff an Hausa for that matter. They sold him out through advise.

The fulani and abokis here commenting should shut the hell up. Bandits and bokoharam have almost killed youe people finish your not rising ti the occasion but happy ighoho is arrested time will tell.

Please someone remind me, what was his crime again?,? And why was he kidnapped like Nnamdi

_Jan1ce Nigeria​ is evil​ country​ i hate the shithole​ country.... FreeNnamdiKanuNow and freesundayigboho

OduduwaNationNow AmbazoniaNationNow BiafraNationNow Britain is behind all the mayhem in Nigeria. They caused the same conflict between Israel and Palestine. We MUST not let Britain and Fulani terrorists re-colonize us.

E don happen

Buhari is the best president so far.🇳🇬🇳🇬 On behalf of the Youths on Twitter we thank you so much for your service sir. BUHARI 🇳🇬🤍

A few years ago, your daughter & her family visited Nigeria from Canada. Her 8 yr old, husband & herself were raped by the Fulani terrorists. After which they collected N8 million in ransom. You must not relent. These terrorists have taken over your forest and has to be stopped.

That’s great!

Nothing like OOGUN or JUJU when facing GOVERNMENT

Sunday Igboho is an opportunist. The Yorubas are not marginalized, they enjoy better than any groups in Nigeria

We don't have a freedom fighters, he's a political instrument shikena

Fascist PMB massacred EndSARS protesters exactly 9 months ago at Lekki Tollgate. MNK was kidnapped in Kenya and brought to Nigeria via extraordinary rendition. Citizens were brutally killed at Igboho's residence and now Igboho has been kidnapped in Benin Republic by Fascist PMB.

Are we still gonna be quiet and watch or take it to their doorstep.

Arrested for what exactly and boko haram are getting released everyday ... terrorist

So what happens to the cat now?

They call him a freedom fighter/Yoruba nation agitator but same Yoruba media will call MNK a secessionist who jumped bail. How can the South work with one mind? If Tinubu gets APC ticket, same agitators will still campaign for him. Southern Nigeria are their own enemies.

Finally…. Good news to Nigeria and a welcome development 🙏

Here we go . YorubaNationNow

So what will happen to him

I said it yesterday it will get to everybody.

So Nigeria security agency are very much active Boko haram bandit are they could not apprend them because they are doing their bid

watch out how some cursed Southerners like Joe igbokwe and tinubu loyalists will celebrate the arrest of Sunday igboho by the same government that have refused to proscribe bandits and herdsmen who killed a Nigerian senior military officer at abuja lokoja express way, 13 police

I hope they will not commit another extrajudicial Rendition. What did Sunday Igboho do when Myetti Allah is working freely and Bokoharan Captured during GEJ regime are being released. BiafraExit OduduwanationNow WeMoveTogether

Another illegal rendition.

What exactly is this man's crime?

Zooid. The MBuhari and his Fulani terrorist cohorts are calling war and that they shall surely get. The time is now. Enough is enough.

Was it extraordinary rendition? What is his crime? Nigerians are being foolish by not talking, strangers are treating them the way they like, Di believe the time to chase out strangers is right here. They plan the way to eliminate us all.

Notable Yoruba people arrested/murdered by the northerners Gani fawehinmi, Fela Kuti,Femi Falana Beko Kuti, Dele Giwa(killed), Abiola Kudirat Abiola(killed), Awolowo, Soyinka, Obasanjo, Ajasin Sowore, SundayIgboho

OfficialPDPNig nuisance you mean. He ain’t no freedom fighter but a miscreant like YeleSowore

AdewoleVincent

Umrash It’s very clear that APC are the ones championing kidnapping in the ZOO

IdorenyinEtuk5 Finally UAR has annexed Benin 🇧🇯

Where the juju wey hin get now … this man was saying that no one can arrest him or kill him .. his mouth is just too much

Hmmm is it not very clear now dat d fulanization and islamization agenda is real, if not y going after self determination agitators, but romancing wth terrorists and bandits? Ndi one Nigeria e don dey set oo

Can we all come together and END NIGERIA NOW

God is watching

Nigerians open your eyes... these self proclaiming fighters are politicians. They use the movements for making money. And garnering the electorate. They share security vote allocations with these fake freedom fighters. Ask MNK. Remember Daniel Kanu? YEA...

Awon Oloriburuku Government Why did they find it difficult to arrest bokoharam,fulani herdsmen, bandit in the North,Awon Oloriburuku Ofo ni omi efo nse Ofo le se danu tomo tomo

As much as I understand that life lost can't be replicated, however, I'm still at loss as to why Igboho had to flee this country? Are we back to NADECO era now?

Nigerian state is seriously provoking the entire southerners to war. A call for Referendum is a democratic process that’s enshrined in UN & Nigerian constitution, why then is NigeriaGov kicking against agitators? The world🌎 & its leaders must take note. StateDept SecBlinken

Gunmi should arrested now to balance the equation 1 vs 1 vs 1 ' goaless draw

Arrested for what actually? Why did they find it so hard to capture Shekau?

Wahala no too much. This man just dey do any how. I swear down

All this are not funny or surprised to me because this is replication of 1983 to 85

Fulani jihadists, sponsored by kaduna & Bauchi state governors shot down a military fighter jet. D govt didn't go after dem,neither did they arrest any1 for the kidnappings & killings within the Nigerian territory, they'll rather arrest Nnamdi Kanu in Kenya & Igboho in Benin rep.

These people are clamping down on freedom fighters

RevolutionNowNg RevolutionNow

They’re quick to arrest NnamdiKanu and SundayIgboho outside Nigeria, but Shekau has been chilling in Sambisa forest for over a decade and claiming empires in the north with no arrest... 9ja I hail thee 🙌🏼

They just celebrated a pilot surviving air crash shot by bandits yet no arrest been made.. Funny people

Oduduwa need more force for this very battle

UN UKParliament EU SenateDems HouseDemocrats WhiteHouse HoCChamber POTUS BorisJohnson JustinTrudeau AngelaMerkel_DE Reuters nytimes washingtonpost MBuhari and his terrorist regime has kidnapped another southerner whilst terrorist are walking free in the north

As e dey hot🔥🔥🔥

While Igboho has exemplified himself in being a true patriot to his people, the shenanigans of Buhari-led govt have clearly depicted it to be unpatriotic to the Nigerians. No doubt Buhari would go down unceremoniously as a defaced KingoftheNorth

HQNigerianArmy, DefenceInfoNG NigAirForce & PoliceNG when will Python 🐍 & Crocodile 🐊 dance in North West especially Zamfara, Katsina and Kaduna? Oh I forgot… they are the “untouchables” & SE/SS are those who have a language they’ll understand. Nothing like One Nigeria 🇳🇬

Shame that this Useless government is putting all it's might into intimidating and prosecuting anyone advocating for good governance while they enable and let Boko haram and islamic terrorists flourish and destroy the country. Such a smelly shame.

Sowore next

How genuine is dz?

Negotiation is the soul of every business. Not punctuality as some people would say. Yoruba and Igbo should know this. The Fulani has surrounded us. While the bandits are distracting us, they build empires in the south and east. You’ve been sold. Negotiate and move on.

In Buhari Nigeria, Terrorists, Killer Fulani Herdsmen, bandits and kidnappers are pampered as untouchables while freedom fighters are tortured, arrested and incarcerated or even killed. Hope Nigerians are taking note because the table will turn soon. No condition is permanent!!

Thank God this one too is arrested. Buhari should carryon with the good job 👍🏾. Nigeria must move forward

Why's he running 🏃‍♂️ 🏃‍♀️ He must charge with treatable offense.

Is like Nigeria security agencies have access to legit intelligence within and outside the country, they just decides to clampdown on those against their agenda at will.

Let's watch the Yoruba nation reaction Action speak 🙄

We are all in Almighty one chance in this contraption called Nigeria.

Bandits shot down military aircraft , 13 police officers were killed but the south is the problem !! How long will our Southern leader Continue to play political correctness and a lackey of the fulanis . I am ashamed of my tribe

Hey! For those who think the UN are still concern, you had better realize that there is no more justice anywhere in the world except in the voices of the people. No body send wetin dey happen for Nigeria. We owe it to ourselves. F*ck haters of NKM & SAI

Sahara sha wan collect Grammy 🙃
