Pelumi Olajengbesi, the previous lawyer for incarcerated Yoruba Nation leader Chief Sunday Adeyemo, also known as Sunday Igboho, has predicted that the embattled agitator will soon be released from detention in Benin Republic.
In a statement on his Facebook page on Sunday, the human rights lawyer who just stepped down from the defense team of the Yoruba Nations freedom warrior said he received exclusive information that his former client would be released shortly.
Since his arrest in July 2021 at Cotonou airport en route to Germany with his wife, Igboho has spent almost seven months in prison in the West African country.
Olajengbesi also had harsh words for several Yoruba leaders, accusing them of being selfish and profiting on Igboho’s woes in secret.
“Chief Sunday Igboho will be out very soon and there will be massive jubilation across the entire Yoruba land. He is no doubt a courageous MAN.
“This is very authoritative, just that our Yoruba leaders should stop being selfish and allow good to prevail,” Olajengbesi wrote.
His forecast came only days after Agbekoya Worldwide, a Yoruba organization, gave the Federal Government an ultimatum to release Igboho or face using ‘juju’ and other traditional methods to free him.
At a demonstration in Osogbo, Osun State, on Thursday, February 3, the President of the Agbekoya Worldwide, Kamorudeen Okiki, threatened that if Igboho was not released legally, his group would have no choice but to rely on terrestrial powers to free him.
“Sunday Igboho is not a criminal. We will continue to say that.
“We know that it is the Federal Government that is holding Igboho in Benin Republic, but we are telling Benin Republic authorities now to legally release him using their court.
“They should release him legally and quickly or we will use our traditional means and powers to take Igboho out of the court,” Okiki had said.
First off I want to say great blog! I had a quick question that I’d like to ask if you don’t mind. I was curious to know how you center yourself and clear your mind before writing. I have had a difficult time clearing my mind in getting my thoughts out. I do enjoy writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are generally wasted just trying to figure out how to begin. Any ideas or tips? Thanks!
