Igboho’s Lawyer Reveals What The Agitator Told Judge In Benin
Yoruba Nation Agitator, Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, has denied claims by the Nigerian government that he was allegedly involved in trafficking in arms or inciting violence.
His lead counsel, Ibrahim Salami, made this known in an interview on Tuesday, stating Igboho told the judge that he was put on a watchlist by the Nigerian government for fighting against killer herdsmen.
Salami had in an interview with BBC Yoruba explained that Igboho is being tried for fresh charges bordering on illegal migration, dubious connivance with immigration officers and an attempt to cause civil unrest.
The PUNCH had reported that Igboho appeared in court last Thursday and Monday after he was arrested alongside his wife, Ropo, by Igboho and his wife were arrested on Monday, July 19, 2021, by the International Criminal Police Organisation at the Cadjèhoun Airport in Cotonou, Republic of Benin on their way to Germany.
When quizzed by the judge, the lawyer quoted Igboho as saying, “Igboho explained that what was said about him are false.
“He explained that he did not do anything illegal in Nigeria. He clarified that Nigeria has never charged him to court or jailed him for any offence, he was never arrested for any offence or invited to Police Station.
“Igboho said he never had any criminal record in Nigeria. He told the judge that the Nigerian government was after him because he was defending the Yoruba race against killer Fulani herdsmen.
“He was asked when he got to Benin, how he got in and how long. Igboho replied that he left Nigeria on Sunday, got to Benin on Monday and attempted to leave Monday night to Germany before he was arrested.
“The judge asked him where he stayed, who drove him and how he escaped security checks. He replied.“What is surprising is that the judge said he was not arrested because he committed an offence. He said he breached Benin rules and he should be investigated.”
