Former presidential aide, Reno Omokri, has urged Femi
Falana, Afe Babalola, Eyitayo Jegede, Wole Olanipekun, and other Senior
Advocates of Nigeria of Yoruba origin to relocate to Benin Republic to
strengthen the legal teams fighting to prevent Sunday Igboho from being repatriated back to the country.
Recall that the Yoruba activist who is currently at the
custody of security agencies in Cotonou, was nabbed on Monday while escaping to
an European country after being declared wanted in Nigeria by the Department of
States Security Services, DSS.
The Oduduwa Republic freedom fighter, appeared at the Cour
De’appal De Cot in Benin Republic on Thursday for hearing on his extradition to
Nigeria.
The court, however, ordered the release of his wife who was
arrested alongside her husband. The case was adjourned till Monday 26 as Igboho
remains in cell.
Reno, in a post on his official Facebook page on Saturday
morning, also accused President Muhammadu Buhari of nepotism.
The post reads, “Femi Falana, Afe Babalola, Eyitayo Jegede,
Wole Olanipekun, and other Senior Advocates of Nigeria of Yoruba origin should
consider relocating to Benin Republic to strengthen the legal defence team of
Sunday Igboho and prevent his repatriation to Nigeria by the Buhari
administration.
“Two years ago, the Buhari government sent a jet to Niger
Republic to fly so called ‘repentant’ Boko Haram members and their wives back
into Nigeria. Please Google it. A government that does that to terrorists has
no moral authority to extradite a freedom fighter.
“This is not the time to just write and talk. We must commit
our money, talents and influence towards helping this man that stood for us
when nobody, including Buhari, stood up to help us when killer herdsmen were
wreaking havoc on Nigerians”.
