Yoruba Nation activist, Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as
Sunday Igboho, has expressed confidence in gaining freedom if returned to
Nigeria by Benin Republic.
In leaked audio confirmed by multiple sources, Igboho said
he does not mind being detained like Nnamdi Kanu.
He alleged that he was abandoned by lawyers who collected a
huge amount of money from him in Benin.
The activist said, “It is because of the situation I found
myself in. If I am determined to get something done, nobody will resist me.
When I insisted that the detention facility that I was kept here should be
changed, they were forced to change it. I have accepted destiny. I am no longer
scared of anyone. I am ready to face the judge that I am no longer scared of
him. He should do whatever he likes.
“If they want to return me to Nigeria, they should go ahead.
There is God there. Nnamdi Kanu is also in Nigerian custody and we are fighting
a similar cause. I don’t care if I am returned to Nigeria too. I am ready.
“I have been here for almost two months and the lawyers
didn’t show enough concern. I have senior lawyers in Nigeria who respect me. I
have 42 lawyers defending me in Ibadan and they keep getting the victory.”
Igboho is currently in a detention facility in Benin
Republic while four of his aides are in the detention of the Department of
State Services.
The Soka, Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria, home of the pro-Yoruba
self-determination activist was invaded by men from DSS about 1:30 am on July
1, 2021, leading to the arrest of 12 of his aides, while Igboho managed to
escape arrest.
The 48-year-old activist was arrested on Monday, July 19,
2021, by the International Criminal Police Organisation at the Cadjèhoun Airport
in Cotonou, Republic of Benin alongside his wife Ropo, on their way to Germany.
