According to the report from the Sun, an Elder statesman and leader of the Southern and Middle-Belt Leaders Forum, Pa Edwin Clark recounted the events surrounding Sunday Igboho's advocacy for an Oduduwa Nation in South-West Nigeria. He stated that several professors, including some who attended meetings with him, joined Igboho's cause. He stated that the movement faced a significant setback when violence erupted at Igboho's residence, leading to fatalities and the seizure of firearms.
He emphasized that despite accusations of terrorism due to his calls for a sovereign Oduduwa Nation, Igboho remains a free man. He noted that the government has labeled anyone who advocates for Nigeria's dissolution as a terrorist.
He said, "Sunday Igboho in the South-West said he wanted Oduduwa Nation. Some professors joined him. I know some of them, who used to attend meetings with me here. They joined him until he had this problem in the house with the security men, where people were killed. Guns were seized and so on which made him run outside Nigeria to the Republic of Benin. So now he’s back. His mother died, he came to bury his mother. He is in and out of Nigeria, whether in the Republic of Benin or in Nigeria or in Germany. So he’s a free man. But he too was accused of being a terrorist. Anybody who tries to say Nigeria should not exist is a terrorist. That is what the government said."
