Sunday Igboho Regains Freedom In Benin Republic After Two Years

Yoruba nation agitator, Sunday Adeyemo, widely known as Sunday Igboho, has been released from the custody of Beninese authorities after undergoing a two-year trial.

KanyiDaily recalls that Sunday Igboho was arrested on July 19, 2021, at the Cadjèhoun Airport in Cotonou, Republic of Benin, by the International Criminal Police Organisation while on his way to Germany.

His arrest followed his escape from Nigeria after a violent raid on his Soka residence in Ibadan, Oyo State, by the Department of State Service (DSS), which accused him of amassing weapons.

On Sunday, October 8, 2023, the Yoruba agitator announced that he has met all the legal requirements associated with his bail, paving the way for his release to leave Cotonou for Nigeria and other destinations.

“I am now free to return to Nigeria and visit any country in the world. I have fulfilled all the legal conditions attached to my bail a few years back and I am coming home to Nigeria, my country of origin, any moment from now, ” Igboho told the Nigerian Tribune on Sunday.

“I can confirm to you that I am now free to come back to Nigeria. There is no legal encumbrance again. Even though I have been living in Cotonou for some time, I can confirm to you categorically that I have now secured the liberty to leave Cotonou for Nigeria.”

This comes months after Sunday Ighoho revealed that he would soon be back in Nigeria for the actualization of the Oodua Republic
