The Cour De’appal De Cotonou, Benin
Republic, where Yoruba Nation agitator,
Sunday Adeyemo (Igboho) and his wife,
were arraigned on Thursday has ordered
the wife to be released this evening.
SaharaReporters learnt from court
officials that the court ruled that Igboho
should be returned to custody.
“They just finished from court. The wife is
to be released this night and Sunday is to
remain in custody. The matter was
adjourned till Friday,” an official said.
SaharaReporters had reported that Sunday
Igboho was 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.
Igboho was taken to court on Thursday
afternoon.
A source had told SaharaReporters 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 (DSS)
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.
The agitator had been on the run since
the raid.
