Gists By Igboho In Cell, Made Him Cry Like Baby – Lawyer Reveals
Chief Yomi Alliyu SAN, the lead counsel for
arrested Yoruba Nation activist Sunday
Adeyemo aka Sunday Igboho, has described
as inhuman, the treatment his client is being
subjected to in the custody of the police in
Benin Republic, SaharaReporters reports.
The counsel stated on Tuesday that his client
was chained inside the cell, tortured on the
hand and forced to cry like a baby.
The
lawyer confirmed that Igboho wept when they
spoke on the telephone on Tuesday.
He said Igboho’s wife, Ropo, a German
citizen, who was arrested together with the
activist, was also kept in a separate cell by
the police in the neighbouring country.
Speaking with Punch, the lawyer said, “They
chained him in the cell where they put him in
Cotonou. There was a fracas at the airport
yesterday when he was arrested. They hit him
in the hand and that same hand was
handcuffed, he is in pains and he was
weeping like a child when I called, I heard
him.
“The wife too was put in a separate cell but
they didn’t chain the wife. He was crying, the
wife was crying too cease he was writhing in
pains seriously. We only pray they don’t pay
anybody to kill him. You don’t out somebody
in cell and still chain the person.
“You know he sustained injury and they didn’t
take him to hospital for treatment.
We heard
that he is appearing in court tomorrow but I
don’t know whether that will carry it out.”
Recall that Igboho and his wife were arrested
at the Cadjèhoun Airport in Cotonou, Benin
Republic around 8pm on Monday. They were
about to catch a flight to Germany before
Interpol apprehended them.
The senior advocate, who described the arrest
of his client as shocking, urged the
government of Germany, Benin Republic and
the international community “to rise up and
curb the impunity of the Nigerian Government
by refusing any application for extradition of
our Client who already has application before
the International Criminal Court duly
acknowledged”.
The Nigerian secret police had raided
Igboho’s Ibadan residence in the Soka area on
July 1, 2021, arrested about 12 of his aides
and killed two of them in a gun duel.
The Federal Government of Nigeria had
placed the Nigeria Immigration Service and
the Nigeria Customs Service on alert to stop
Igboho from leaving the country.
