Security operatives in Benin Republic have removed leg chain and hand-cuff from Sunday Adeyemo, popularly called Sunday Igboho.
Gatekeepers News report that the Communications Manager of Ilana Omo Oodua, Maxwell Adeleye, made this known while giving an update on the state of Igboho’s health.
He said, “We are pleased to inform all Yoruba People and well-wishers that the Security Operatives in Benin Republic have removed a leg chain and hand-cuff from Chief Ighoho since Saturday evening.
“Chief Ighoho’s Wife has now been granted access to meet her husband three times daily.
“Medical Personnel provided by our legal team have examined Chief Sunday Adeyemo.
“We reiterate that Chief Ighoho is not under any immigration-related probe in Benin Republic.
“Chief Sunday Adeyemo will appear in court this morning in Benin Republic to face the likely extradition charges to be brought against him by the Nigerian Government.
“We urge supporters from Nigeria not to bother coming to the court premises in Bénin. Kindly stay in Nigeria and support with prayers and whatever you can do within the ambit of the law. We are confident that Chief Igboho shall be set free.”
The Beninese court adjourned Igboho’s case till today, Monday, July 26, after his lawyers failed to convince the prosecutor that he had no case to answer.
The Beninese authorities have, however, released Ropo, the agitator’s wife, who was arrested with Igboho on Monday, July 19, 2021, by the International Criminal Police Organisation at the Cadjèhoun Airport in Cotonou, Republic of Benin on their way to Germany.
On his part, Igboho was returned to police custody.
