03 Jan Sunday Igboho’s lawyer resigns
A lawyer to Sunday Adeyemo (popularly known as Sunday Igboho) has announced his resignation as counsel for the Yoruba nation agitator.
Pelumi Olajengbesi, a managing partner at Law Corridor, said he had stated in the beginning that the scope of his work would only be within the purview of his professional duty as a lawyer to Mr Igboho and his aides.
“I am a strong believer in constitutional democracy, civil liberty and human rights which includes the right to self-determination but I am not a Yoruba nation agitator nor a member of any like organization,” he said.
Mr Olajengbesi’s action came amidst criticism by a Yoruba group, Ilana Omo Oodua, following a New Year Day statement lamenting the insecurity in the South-west region.
“Let it be abundantly clear that I am not at war with President Buhari, the governors or anybody in government,” the letter read.
The letter was signed by Mr Olajengbesi on behalf of Mr Igboho.
But a statement by the Ilana Omo Oodua group said the lawyer has no standing to issue a statement on Mr Igboho’s behalf.
