Sunday Igboho
Yoruba Nation agitator Sunday Adeyemo aka Sunday Ighoho has been released by Benin Republic Government.
Checks by The Nation show the 49-year-old agitator has spent over 231 days in Benin Republic prison after he was arrested on July 19, 2021.
Many supporters have lamented the continuous detention of Igboho ‘without trial’.
The legal battle to either extradite Igboho to Nigeria or free him has witnessed a series of dramatic twists and turns.
