Media adviser to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Paul Ibe, has called on security agencies to invite Yoruba Nation agitator Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, to reveal the identities of politicians he alleged are sponsoring kidnappers in Oyo State.
Ibe made the call in a post on X on Thursday, urging the Department of State Services (DSS) and other security agencies to act on any credible intelligence that could help secure the release of abducted students and teachers and dismantle criminal networks.
His reaction followed comments made by Igboho during a meeting with the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS), where he claimed to know politicians backing kidnappers operating in the South-West.
According to Igboho, he would publicly expose the sponsors if they failed to desist from their activities.
Ibe stressed that every available option should be explored to ensure the safe return of the abducted victims. He also criticised the Federal Government’s response to the abduction of over 50 schoolchildren in Mussa, Borno State, saying the reaction had been less forceful than responses to similar incidents elsewhere.
