The Aare Onakakanfo of Yorubaland, Iba Gani Adams has asked the Yoruba Nation activist, Sunday Adeyemo popularly known as Sunday Igboho, to either apologise or face legal action for allegedly invading his privacy.
Adams made this demand in a pre-litigation letter written on his behalf by his counsel, Adesina Ogunlana.
In the letter dated June 4 2024 and addressed to Igboho, Adams detailed how the Yoruba activist allegedly infringed on his fundamental human right.
He alleged that Igboho intruded on his privacy by publishing in the media, a private conversation he had with a friend sometime in 2021.
Adams described Igboho’s action as a deliberate, reckless, and malicious breach of his fundamental rights to privacy as constitutionally guaranteed as cognisable in Section 37 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 as amended.
Adams, however, demanded a “letter of unqualified apology” from Igboho for the reckless and unlawful invasion of his privacy by the mass publication of his private discussion with Mr. Nurudeen Banjo which has scandalised his pre-eminent personality and status.
“Nonetheless, despite your affront to the honour and reputation of our Client, the great weight of his traditional title and office dictates first an embrace of rapprochement with you as a brother worthy and so, we have his instructions to request for an amicable settlement of his grievance in this matter with your good self.”
