Iba Gani Adams, the Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yorubaland, has filed a ₦5 billion lawsuit against Yoruba Nation activist, Chief Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, at the Oyo State High Court. Adams claims that Igboho illegally recorded a private phone conversation and shared it publicly without his consent, causing significant harm to his reputation.
In the suit, numbered M/1006/2024, Adams is seeking the enforcement of his fundamental rights under Section 37 of Nigeria’s 1999 Constitution, which protects the right to privacy. He describes Igboho’s actions as “unlawful, illegal, and unconstitutional,” asserting that they have had a damaging impact on his role as the Aare Ona Kakanfo.
Adams stated that the conversation, recorded without his permission, was posted on social media in April 2024, resulting in “serious embarrassment.” Citing a breach of his privacy rights, Adams is demanding ₦5 billion in exemplary damages as compensation for the impact on his reputation.
