Sunday Igboho Denies Turning Into Cat, Says DSS Raid Killed His Pets

Yoruba Nation agitator Sunday Igboho has spoken out regarding the speculations surrounding his alleged transformation into a cat during the Department of State Services (DSS) midnight raid on his residence.

Igboho, in an interview with Punch, refuted the report that there was no such occurrence of him transforming into a cat during the DSS raid in July 2021.

He said the DSS indiscriminately fired bullets during the raid, causing the demise of several cats

The activist stated that the DSS’s objective was either to eliminate him or apprehend and transport him to an undisclosed location

He said, “It is true that some cats were killed during the attack. Because the DSS just kept firing bullets in all directions. I was rearing cats as pets, and I had many of them in my house. So, anything or movement attracted sporadic gunshots.

“Their mission was to either kill me or arrest me and take me to an unknown destination, but the Almighty God is greater than anybody in this world, including the despotic ex-President Muhammadu Buhari.

“My God and providence put Buhari to shame with the lawless invasion of my home because they all failed to achieve what they came for. I didn’t turn into a cat to escape.”

Meanwhile, Igboho mentioned that he was unsure whether the DSS had brought three herbalists during the raid, given the prolonged gunfire at his residence that caused fear and commotion.

He said, “I wouldn’t know that because the DSS stormed my residence at midnight, causing fear and commotion in the whole of the Soka area of Ibadan and releasing a volley of bullets for several hours.

“In that atmosphere of confusion and violence, how do you expect me to be checking if they came with herbalists or pastors? There couldn’t have been time for that.”

When questioned about the report of stockpiling guns in his residence, Igboho said, “That’s very far from the truth. How can I stockpile guns in my house?

“All those allegations are phantoms and cooked up by the DSS just to implicate me in a planned or trumped-up criminal trial.”

Kanyi Daily recalls that Yoruba Nation activist, Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, had appreciated all those who played a role in his release from Beninese custody.
