'True that DSS killed some cats' - Igboho
Earlier, Legit.ng reported that Yoruba Nation agitator, Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, has said it is true that some cats were killed during the midnight raid operatives of the DSS on his residence in July 2021.
Igboho said he has cats as pets.
Although there were insinuations that the DSS and soldiers brought three herbalists, killed five cats, and ‘arrested’ one thinking Igboho transformed during the midnight raid, the Oyo-born self-acclaimed defender of the defenceless said the cats were only killed because “anything or movement attracted sporadic gunshots”.
