Counsel to Sunday Adeyemo, better known as Sunday Igboho has said the Nigerian government didn’t request for his extradition.
Gatekeepers News reports that the Counsel to Sunday Adeyemo, better known as Sunday Igboho, Ibrahim David Salami, has said the Federal Government of Nigeria was yet to request the repatriation of Igboho from Benin Republic.
The Department of State Services, DSS, had declared Igboho wanted after his residence was invaded.
Though he escaped, his aides were arrested.
Parading those arrested, DSS had also made public the weapons and charms recovered from his house.
He was, however, reportedly arrested on Monday night in Cotonou, Benin Republic by security agents.
Salami disclosed that the Federal Government only requested for Igboho’s arrest and not extradition.
Igboho’s lawyer while speaking with BBC Yoruba said the Nigerian government requested Igboho’s arrest over some offences he allegedly committed in Nigeria.
According to Salami: “When we saw the case in court, we discovered that the Nigerian government has not requested for his extradition.
“What is there is that the Nigerian government said they wanted to arrest Igboho because he committed certain offences in Nigeria and that if he is seen in Benin Republic he should be arrested.”
