Yoruba Nation Agitator, Sunday Igboho, Regains Freedom After Two Years

Yoruba Nation activist, Chief Sunday Adeyemo also known as Sunday Igboho, has regained freedom after two years of trial by the Beninese government.

The embattled agitator said on Sunday he was now legally free to leave Cotonou, capital of the Benin Republic, to Nigeria and other countries.

He regained freedom after two years of trial by the Beninese government.

You will recall that Igboho fled Nigeria in July 2021 following a late-night raid on his Ibadan residence by operatives of the Department of State Services, DSS.

The DSS claimed that seven AK-47 rifles, pump-action guns, and 5,000 rounds of ammunition, charms and other weapons were recovered from his apartment during the invasion.

The attack led to at least one death, while some of his belongings were vandalised.

He was later arrested at the Cardinal Bernardin International Airport in Cotonou, Benin Republic while attempting to flee to Germany.

Attempts by the former President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration to repatriate him to Nigeria were unsuccessful.
