The Muhammadu Buhari-led government has not declared Yoruba nation agitator, Professor Banji Akintoye, wanted in Nigeria.

Reports had emerged that the federal Government was plotting to arrest the leader of the Yoruba self-determination group known as Ilana Omo Oodua.

Recall that Akintoye and embattled Yoruba nation agitator Sunday Adeyemo, also known as Sunday Igboho, have been arrowheads for the campaign to secede from the Nigerian state and establish Oduduwa Republic.

According to him, the Professor as a man of the people who stands for peaceful agitation.

“He fear no arrest, even if the Nigerian Government have such a plan. It is not true that the renowned Historian has been declared wanted”, he noted.
