The Federal Government of Nigeria has commenced the process
to extradite Sunday Igboho from Benin Republic.
The Yoruba agitator was apprehended in the neighboring
country on Monday night.
Nigeria is not expected to face resistance from the
Beninoise government, an age-long ally.
The authorities regard Africa’s most populous nation as “big
brother”.
Igboho was declared wanted after the Department of State
Services (DSS) operation at his Ibadan residence on July 1.
He was asked to turn himself in to the nearest security
agency. But the secessionist went underground.
Igboho stayed away from the July 3 Yoruba Nation rally he
promoted and later called off due to the assault on his home.
An intelligence source disclosed that there was nothing
supernatural about him and that his hideout had been identified.
“If this secessionist thinks he’s hiding, that thought should
be erased. The government knows where he is but is restraining due to tactical
reasons,” the source said.
The strategy was to wait till he came out of hiding. Igboho
was nabbed just ten days after federal agencies placed him on stop-list.
The July 9 memo copied the DSS, the National Intelligence
Agency (NIA) and the Nigeria Police.
