The Lead agitator for self-determination for the Yoruba ethnic group, Sunday Adeyemo popularly known as Sunday Igboho would be spending more time behind bars in the Republic of Benin as the country has extended his detention by six months.
Naija News recalls that human rights lawyer, Pelumi Olajengbesi had claimed that Igboho will soon be released from detention by Benin Republic authorities.

Olajengbesi who resigned from the team of Nigerian lawyers representing Igboho said: “Chief Sunday Igboho will be out very soon and there will be massive jubilation across the entire Yoruba land.



“He is no doubt a courageous MAN. “This is very authoritative just that our Yoruba leaders should stop being selfish and allow good to prevail.”

However, contrary to this claim, his lead counsel, Chief Yomi Aliyu in a chat with Punch Newspaper revealed on Sunday evening that the Benin Republic extended Igboho’s detention despite the fact that he faced no criminal charges and the Nigerian government made no extradition request.



He said, “Contrary to what was speculated in the news by a lawyer, the government of the Republic de Benin has renewed the incarceration of Chief Sunday Adeyemo a.k.a Igboho Oosa for another six months even though there is no criminal charge in their file in Cotonou and without extradition request from Nigeria.”

When asked whether his client would contest the extension of his detention, Aliyyu stated that he would contact the Economic Community of West African States’ court.

“We will approach the ECOWAS Court which they never obeyed,” he added.

It will be recalled that Igboho was arrested on 20 July 2021 at the Cotonou Cadjehoun Airport in the Benin Republic about three weeks after the Department of State Services declared him wanted for allegedly stockpiling arms, an allegation he has since denied.

Benin Republic is another state in Nigeria. The earlier Igboho realized that the better for his peace of mind.

He's a secessionist and he should know that secession is not possible! A reasonable person wouldn't fight an unreasonable fight. Not just him, but all secessionists are shit!

Do you think Igboho would rise if not for herdsnen issues just like Nnamdi Kanu predicted as well in 2014?

Or you want him to rely on Amotekun which you know that Amotekun was just created by state govt just to save face same with Eastern Ebubeagu ?

I am sure if he had succeded or if he eventually succeeds tomorrow no Yoruba man born of a woman will ever deny Igboho.. You are all denying him now because of his present predicament.. It's a pity!

You can call for reform but not secession. Moreover, if you check most of his followers, they are illiterates. Literates knows better! Secession ain't the way to go!

Reform how ?
The reform all Yoruba activists have been calling since the return of democracy where has it led them to ?

Reform indeed !

Pls stop tagging people illiterates because illiterates also have a say in governance... Why not put their aspirations and yearning to votes to find out if they have more voice in the society or not..?

I know baby factory criminals and drug traffickers cannibals will gather here to cry and lament their misfortunes, 6 months is a set time not just an indefinite period of uncertainty that was granted to Kanu, kanu's fate will be decided by the incoming president, he can't be left of the hook soon, but according to intel, igboho will be released during the heat of election from his exile as agreed by former president Olusegun Obasanjo in Benin Republic. he is hid in Benin Republic just for the time buhari will leave the government

So Calling for Creation of Odua republic is a civil unrest ? But killing by Herdsmen and even chasing some Yorubas out from their ancestral land to Benin Republic by Herdsmen which no one has been arrested or covincted today is peaceful co existence ? Smh
I am done with you...

Because of what? Mehn, Africa is too corrupt. What's Igboho’s offense that he’s being caged without trial in Benin?

With the way that country is holding him for no tangible reason at all, it's clear that they have been bribed heavily by the fulani cabal/govt.
