Recently, a photograph purported to be that of the bedroom of a political icon in Ibadan, Chief Busari Oloyede Adelakun, popularly known as Eruobodo, went viral on the social media. His son, who is also the Jagunmolu Agbekoya of Yorubaland, Chief Kunle Adelakun, in this interview by SAM NWAOKO, speaks on the photograph and issues around his late father. Excerpts:
There was this photograph making the rounds on the internet, said to be the bedroom of your late father, Chief Busari Adelakun. Did you see the photo and, how do you react to it?
I saw the photograph when someone in the United States called my attention to it and sent it to me. When I saw it, I was really shocked, baffled; and I was really distressed and highly disappointed. I just couldn’t believe that someone would do a thing like that.

SUNDAY IGBOHO: The making of a freedom fighter
On
By Clifford Ndujihe, Political Editor
UNTIL Friday, January 15, 2021, Chief Sunday Adeyemo, also known as Sunday Igboho, was arguably an unknown entity outside the South-West zone of Nigeria. Even in the South-West, his popularity was not widespread.
However, all that changed on January 15. No thanks to the recurring herdsmen menace in many parts of the country especially the South-West, Middle-Belt, South-South, and South-East that has left sad and teary tales on the lips of victims.
On that historic January 15, Sunday Igboho and his supporters took the battle to end the ‘Fulani’ herdsmen crisis on their shoulders, thus adding their names to the January 15 stories.

A popular Yoruba rights activist, Sunday Adeyemo, well known as Sunday Igboho, has said he had no transaction with Babafemi Ojudu, who is the Special Adviser on Political Matters to the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.).
Ojudu, in a piece published on his Facebook page on Monday, had alleged that opposition politicians contracted Igboho to disrupt the 2009 Rerun Governorship Election in Ekiti State. Ojudu had claimed he and a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Tinubu, met with Igboho to shelve the plan and the latter agreed to stay off the election.
But speaking with journalists during a briefing at his residence in Ibadan on Tuesday following a fire incident at one his buildings in the Soka area of the state, Igboho said he had no dealing with Ojudu, adding that all the President’s aide said were lies.
