Why Sunday Igboho left Nigeria

Igboho has been out of Nigeria since 2021 when he eloped to Benin Republic after being declared wanted by the Department of State Services (DSS).

Igboho strongly criticised former President Muhammadu Buhari, particularly on insecurity. He had vowed to fight to succeed a Yoruba nation out of Nigeria, a move which was met with criticism from the Yusuf.
