TIMELINE: Igboho Spends ‘one-month’ In Benin Republic Detention by AAJ50(m): 7:26pm On Aug 18, 2021
By Alao Abiodun

Embattled Yoruba nation agitator, Sunday Adeyemo popularly known as Sunday Igboho has been in the eye of the storm since he was ‘arrested’ by the operatives of Brigade criminelle (Criminal Brigade) on July 19 in Cotonou.

The Nation reports before Igboho’s arrest, his Ibadan home was raided by operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS), killing two of his aides and arresting 12 others during the operation.

The 48-year-old agitator who narrowly escaped the bloody raid, was subsequently declared wanted for allegedly stockpiling arms to destabilise Nigeria under the pretext of Yoruba Nation.

Igboho, after going underground for 19 days, was finally arrested in neighbouring Cotonou, Benin Republic, while trying to travel to Germany.

He was arrested with his wife, Ropo, but the Cour De’appal De Cotonou ordered the release of the wife based in Germany saying there were no allegations against her.

Since he was arrested, the legal battle to either extradite Igboho to Nigeria or hand him back his freedom has witnessed a series of dramatic twists and turns.

One of Igboho’s lawyers, Yomi Aliyu SAN, had argued that Igboho cannot be extradited to Nigeria because of the extradition treaty of 1984 between Togo, Nigeria, Ghana, and Republic of Benin.

But in the last judgment, the Cour De’appal De Cotonou ordered that Igboho should be kept in prison custody.

Why the delay. They should atleast let the man post bail now. Why detaining him like some criminal?

What has been the efforts of the Yoruba people to see that the benign ethnic leader regains his freedom. Should he be thrown under the bus because he fight does not resonate with a certain elite's position. Despite the sacrifices made on behalf of the populace?

What do the Yoruba stand for?

Only a handful talks about Igboho these days. I can only imagine what goes through his mind at mid night.

It wasn’t worth it.

Illegal Immigrant, what rights does he have, does he have any blood relatives in Benin that they could hand him over to? Not only that he is an illegal immigrant, he was also caught with a fake Beninoise passport, you think that is a minor offense?
