The Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yorubaland, Iba Gani Adams, has filed a lawsuit against Yoruba Nation activist Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho for N5 billion over an alleged privacy invasion at an Oyo State High Court.

Adams claims that Igboho unlawfully recorded and released a private phone conversation between him and another individual without his consent, which has damaged his reputation.

In suit number M/1006/2024, Adams is seeking the enforcement of his fundamental rights, citing Section 37 of Nigeria’s 1999 Constitution, which guarantees the right to privacy.

His statement highlights that Igboho’s actions were “unlawful, illegal, and unconstitutional,” describing them as “reckless and injurious” to his position as the Aare Ona Kakanfo.

Gani Adams argues that the recorded conversation, which was shared on social media in April 2024, caused him serious embarrassment and that his privacy rights were violated. As a result, he is seeking exemplary damages to address the harm caused.
