The State Security Service, SSS, has declared Yoruba secessionist Sunday Igboho wanted.

The secret police also vowed that the Buhari regime would track him down.

This comes on the heels of the attack on Mr Igboho’s residence in the early hours of Thursday, where two people were killed and other abducted.

SSS spokesman, Peter Afunanya, at a press briefing confirmed that the officials were present at the activist’s house and alleged that illegal arms including seven AK-47 rifles and thousands of ammunition were recovered from the building.

The Cable also reported that 13 supporters of Mr Igboho who allegedly attacked the SSS operatives during the raid were paraded.
