Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Ighoho, was
released from prison on Monday.
His lawyer, Yomi Alliyu, confirmed that Igboho was allowed
to go for medical checks.
The Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) said the agitator
entered an agreement not to leave Benin Republic “for any reason”.
Alliyu credited his freedom to prominent Yoruba
personalities Prof Wole Soyinka and Prof Banji Akintoye.
Photos of Igboho after his freedom was circulated Monday night by Maxwell Adeleye, Ilana Omo Oodua (IOO) spokesman.
He is pictured with Akintoye, his lawyer in Benin, Prof Malik Falola, and IOO Deputy Leader, Prof Wale Adeniran.
The secessionist has been in the custody of the Beninese government since July 19, 2021.
Igboho and wife, Ropo, fled Nigeria after the federal government declared him wanted.
The couple were intercepted by the International Criminal Police Organisation at the Cadjèhoun Airport in Cotonou as they headed to Germany.
