Paul Ibe called on security agencies to question Yoruba Nation campaigner Sunday Adeyemo over alleged claims concerning politicians backing kidnappers.
Media adviser to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Paul Ibe, has called on the Department of State Services and other security agencies to invite Yoruba Nation campaigner Sunday Adeyemo to disclose the identities of politicians allegedly backing kidnappers.
The call follows remarks attributed to Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, concerning alleged political support for criminal groups involved in kidnapping activities.
Ibe urged the DSS and relevant security agencies to investigate the claims and compel the activist to provide details that could assist ongoing security efforts.
The development draws renewed attention to the broader national conversation around insecurity and the growing pressure on security institutions to act on public allegations connected to violent crimes.
At the centre of the demand is the question of accountability — not only for criminal actors themselves, but also for any individuals alleged to be providing support or protection behind the scenes.
As of the time of reporting, no official response from the DSS or other security agencies had been referenced in the statement.
