Sunday Igboho Arrested on his way to Germany
Popular you Yoruba Nation activist, Sunday Adeyemo also known as Sunday Igboho, has been arrested in Cotonou, Benin Republic.
He was Reportedly arrested at an airport in Cotonou on Monday night, a top source familiar with the matter told our correspondent.
Igboho was arrested by the security forces in Benin Republic about three weeks after the Department of State Services declared him wanted for allegedly stockpiling arms, an allegation he has since denied.
The source said Igboho will be repatriated to Nigeria on Tuesday (today) from Benin Republic, one of Nigeria’s neighbouring countries in the West African sub region.
“He was arrested in Cotonou while he tried to travel out on Monday night. His destination was Germany. The security forces in Benin Republic should repatriate him to Nigeria on Tuesday,” the source said.
The Federal Government of Nigeria had placed the Nigeria Immigration Service and the Nigeria Customs Service on alert to stop Igboho from leaving the country.
DSS spokesman, Peter Afunanya, did not respond to a text message seeking confirmation on the matter.
Afunanya, at a briefing on July 1, 2021, had vowed that “Igboho may run as far as he can. He may hide as long as he wants…But this will be the end of his shenanigans.”
PMB + DSS + NA + customs + Immigrations + Fulani herdsmen = Terrorist & kidnappers of the highest order. If Buhari and his saddistic government had given 50 % of this effort used in tracking peaceful agitators and protesters. Nigeria will never be a haven of criminals. I voted for Buhari twice, but I am totally disappointed in him and his shameful government. This government is a coward, they cannot solve the problem of insecurity in the land. They continue in their inordinate determination to be chasing innocent Nigerians and perpetrating criminality and anarchy. What a shame. Whether they like it or not, they will soon perish in the ‘red sea’ Amen & Amen !!!
