Human rights lawyer, Femi Falana (SAN) has claimed Benin Republic told Tukur Buratai, follows rule of law when he asked for Yoruba nation agitator, Sunday Adeyemo popularly known as Sunday Igboho to be handed over to him after his arrest in the neighboring country, Newspremises reports.

In an interview on Channels Television on Thursday July 29, Falana claimed that Buratai made the request when he had not submitted his letter of credence to Benin Republic's President. He also said that he learnt there were attempts to throw Igboho in a waiting plane for return to Nigeria.


“In the case of Sunday Igboho, again despite my disagreement with him, I came out to say you cannot just throw him into a waiting plane as we were told, it was attempted.

“You have to go to court. You have to make a request under international law, under the ECOWAS convention on extradition.

“He was told, ‘sorry, we operate the rule of law here’. That is why that matter is still in court,” Falana said.

“The government of Nigeria is requested to submit an extradition request to the government of Benin Republic and so when the plenipotentiary, General Yusuf Buratai (retired) who at that time had not submitted his letters of credence asked that Igboho be handed over to him.

Hmmn.


Make Buratai sef rest

Can you imagine. Buratai should be ashamed to even accept that position in Benin.

Really?

what this present government knows how to do best is giving ambassador and ministers to criminal and questionable character people.

If you are a southerner against MNK and igbogho
Shame on you
Fulani only want to cage all your fighters
So nobody will cough when they come for you
Watch the way Fulani will do everything to defend Abba kyari.
