Yoruba nation agitator, Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, has regained his freedom after two years of trial from the Beninese authorities.
Igboho on Sunday while speaking with a journalist, said he was now legally free to leave Cotonou, capital of the Benin Republic, for Nigeria and other countries.
Also, Prof. Banji Akintoye, leader of Yoruba Nation group, said Igboho was freed on Sunday and has left for Germany to join his family.
According to Igboho, “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.”
Osun Defender reports that trouble started for the agitator when he declared the Yoruba Nation’s sovereignty in March 2021.
He started a campaign to chase killer herdsmen and kidnappers out of the South-West states and went on to call on Yoruba in Hausa/Fulani or Igbo territories to return home.
He, however, fled Nigeria in July 2021 following a nocturnal invasion of his Ibadab residence by the operatives of the Department of State Services.
He was later arrested at the Cardinal Bernardin International Airport in Cotonou, Benin Republic while attempting to flee to Germany.
