Sunday Adeyemo, also known as Sunday Ighoho, a Yoruba Nation activist, has been released by the Government of the Republic of Benin.
Ilana Omo Oodua Worldwide, the umbrella body of Yoruba Self-determination Groups, announced this in a statement on Monday.
After being arrested on July 19, 2021, the Yoruba Nation agitator has spent over 231 days in Benin Republic prison.
Many supporters have been outraged by Igboho’s continued detention ‘without trial.’
The legal battle over whether Igboho should be extradited to Nigeria or released has taken a dramatic turn.
The Umbrella Body of Yoruba Self-determination Groups, Ilana Omo Oodua Worldwide, confirmed Igboho’s release in a brief statement on Monday.
Maxwell Adeleye, the Communications Secretary of Ilana Omo Oodua Worldwide, explained that Igboho was released to Professor Banji Akintoye and Professor Wale Adeniran, a French Language Expert/Deputy Alana of Ilana Omo Oodua Worldwide.
