Ikeja, Lagos - Barely 24 hours after the arrest of Yoruba nation agitator, Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, by Interpol in Cotonou, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Joe Igbokwe, has reacted.
Legit.ng reports that in what appears to be a mockery of Igboho and Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Igbokwe, who is the special adviser to the Lagos state governor on drainage and water resources, said juju (charms) has failed Igbo and the Yoruba lands.

Igbokwe made this known on his Facebook page on Tuesday, July 20, hours after news about Igboho's arrest was broken.
He wrote:
“Juju no de work again ooo. It failed in Igbo land and it failed too in Yoruba land."
The post was accompanied with a photograph of Sunday Igboho heavily decked in charms.
Recalls that Igboho was arrested by the security forces in Benin Republic about three weeks after the Department of State Services had declared him wanted for allegedly stockpiling arms — an allegation he has since denied.
Igboho had perfected plans to secretly escape from Nigeria through Cotonou and was heading to Germany.
No individual can escape from the government's wrath
In his reaction to Igbokwe's comments, a Facebook user, Adeniyi Bello, said Yoruba call government "ijoba, amuni mu Ogun" meaning, government catch/ arrest you and catch/arrest your juju
