Yoruba nation agitator, Sunday Adeyemo, better known as Sunday Igboho, has regained his freedom from the Beninese authorities.
The PUNCH reports that the embattled agitator said on Sunday he was now legally free to leave Cotonou, capital of the Benin Republic, to Nigeria and other countries.
“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,” Adeyemo told the Nigerian Tribune on Sunday.
He regained freedom after two years of trial by the Beninese government.
AFRIPOST reports that Igboho’s house was raided by the armed men of the Department of State Services (DSS) on Thursday, July 1, 2021 for declaring the Yoruba Nation’s sovereignty in March 2021. The operation claimed two lives and several others were arrested at his Ibadan residence.
