Nigerians woke up to the news of the arrest of Sunday Adeyemo, a leading campaigner for Yoruba self-determination on Tuesday. This was three weeks after Adeyemo, more popularly known as Sunday Igboho was declared wanted by the Department of State Services.
That declaration itself followed a midnight invasion of his home where two people were said to have been killed, property worth millions of naira destroyed and anything and everything in sight was arrested by the DSS.

The fugitive denied ownership of those weapons and a cat and mouse game ensued until his arrest on Tuesday.
