Finally, Sunday Igboho Regains Freedom After Two Years In Benin Republic
After spending two years detained by authorities of Benin Republic, Sunday Adeyemo, a Yoruba nation agitator popularly known as Sunday Igboho, has finally regained his freedom.
Sunday, Igboho said he has fulfilled all the legal conditions attached to his bail and is now free to return to Nigeria and move to other countries as well.
“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.
“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,” Igboho told the Nigerian Tribune on Sunday.
Taking to his Instagram handle also on Sunday, he wrote;
“I give special thanks to President Talon of Benin Republic and to all members of his cabinet. My gratitude goes to my heroic father, Professor Banji Akintoye, and Professor Wole Soyinka for their support in the course of the struggle. May God reward you Baba for your standing courageously for our Yoruba nation and me. You promised to stand by me through my ordeal in Benin Republic and you have fulfilled your promise.
“I will not forget to appreciate former President Olusegun Obasanjo, Baba Ayo Adebanjo for their roles, even though only God gives freedom. Let me use this opportunity to say thank you to all religious leaders, pastors, Muslim clerics and traditional worshipers for their prayers day and night.”
