Sunday Igboho
The Benin Republic court, where Yoruba nation agitator, Sunday Adeyemo (Igboho) and his wife, were arraigned on Thursday has ordered the wife to be released this evening.
The same court ruled that Igboho should remain in custody.
Sunday Igboho is awaiting his fate at the Cour De’appal De Cotonou, Benin Republic, following his arraignment by the authorities of the country for immigration-related offences.
He was taken to court on Thursday afternoon.
A source had said that the activist was not for extradition to Nigeria.
SaharaReporters had reported how Benin Republic police on Monday night arrested Igboho at Cardinal Bernardin International Airport in Cotonou, while trying to fly from the country to Germany.
The Department of State Services had on July 1 raided the residence of the activist in Ibadan, Oyo State.
Igboho had planned a ‘Yoruba Nation Rally in Lagos two days before the raid.
The DSS raided the residence, killing two people and arresting 12 aides but Igboho escaped.
The agency alleged that Igboho was stockpiling weapons, and subsequently declared him wanted.
Igboho had been on the run since the raid.
