A source close to federal authorities said the government already identified his hiding place.
“Many people are yet to fully understand the meaning of Federal Government. Few days after Igboho’s place was breached, intelligence services detected his exact spot.
“No one should underestimate the powers that the government of any country wields. If this secessionist thinks he’s hiding, that thought should be erased.
“The Federal Government of Nigeria knows where he is but they are restraining from taking him in due to tactical reasons,” the source said in a chat with Daily Post on Tuesday night.
Asked what he meant by “tactical reasons”, the informant said the government is being careful not to increase the tension in the South-West and the country.
Accorsing to Daily Post, a source confirmed that Igboho is still in Nigeria and keeping safe.
“They want to arrest him. He is laying low which is the right thing to do. We continue to monitor developments”, he added.
