Sunday Igboho Finally Released From Prison, Set To Return To Nigeria

Sunday Igboho, whose real name is Sunday Adeyemo and Yoruba nation agitator, has been granted his freedom by the authorities in Benin Republic.

The embattled activist, who had been facing legal proceedings, revealed on Sunday that he was now legally able to leave Cotonou, the capital of Benin Republic, and travel to Nigeria and other countries.

In his statement to the Nigerian Tribune, Sunday Igboho declared, “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.”

He went on to say, “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 marks a significant development for Sunday Igboho, who had been entangled in legal proceedings for two years in Benin Republic. His legal troubles began when he declared the sovereignty of the Yoruba Nation in March 2021.

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

He had fled Nigeria after a bloody raid on his Soka residence in Ibadan, Oyo State capital by the Department of State Service (DSS), which accused him of stockpiling arms.

He initiated a campaign to expel killer herdsmen and kidnappers from the South-Western states and called on Yoruba people residing in areas predominantly occupied by Hausa/Fulani or Igbo communities to return to their homeland.
