Ropo, the Germany-based wife of 48-year-old Yoruba Nation agitator, Sunday Adeyemo aka Sunday Igboho, on Monday, arrived at the Cour De’appal De Cotonou, Benin Republic as the court resumes sitting in the case against the activist.

The PUNCH also gathered that at the court in solidarity with the activist include Yoruba monarchs based in Benin Republic as well as other Yoruba Nation supporters. The traditional rulers had met on Sunday and resolved to intervene in the matter.

However, Igboho is yet to be brought to court as of the time of filing this report.

The PUNCH had earlier reported that the Beninise court ruled on Thursday that Ropo should be released unconditionally as there were no charges against her.

The court, however, ruled that Igboho be remanded in police custody till today when sitting would resume in the French-speaking court.

The court is currently investigating the allegations brought against Igboho by the Federal Government of Nigeria which claimed, amongst other things, that the activist is a gun runner. The court is also expected to rule on the extradition or otherwise of Igboho.

Igboho and his wife were arrested at the Cadjèhoun Airport in Cotonou around 8pm on July 19, 2021, while they tried to catch a flight to Germany.

Igboho was earlier declared wanted by the Department of State Services for allegedly stockpiling arms, an allegation he denied. The secret police had also raided his house, killed two of his associates and arrested about 12 of them.

I expect Nnamdi Kanu’s wife to emulate Ropo. She should be in Nigeria and support her husband anytime there’s a court case. Is that too much to do?

EmekaBlue:
Didn't she do it before

she should keep doing it again

Ayed44:
Stop making it look as if there's a competition between Yoruba and Igbo. There is no competition between Igboho and KANU. Sunday Igboho and Nnamdi Kanu are comrades fighting for the same course and I naturally expected their supporters to join hands together and fight the common enemy.

Their presence won't change anything

He will be released on bail today.

Igboho did know he would be arrested in Benin Republic. He wants his hearing & trial in Benin Republic rather than in Nigeria. He's wise for that. Let the chief Terrorist Buhari's atrocities be exposed to the world.
