The lead counsel to Yoruba nation’s agitator, Sunday Igboho, Ibrahim Salami, has disclosed what the Nigerian government told their Benin Republic counterparts to warrant his arrest and possible extradition.

Salami disclosed that the Nigerian government accused Igboho of smuggling arms into Nigeria.

Speaking with BBC Yoruba, the lawyer said the Nigerian government also accused the freedom fighter of calling for secession and disturbing the country.

Salami said, “The Nigerian government said Igboho was involved in arms trafficking into Nigeria.

“The second one is that he is causing disturbances in Nigeria and the third one is that he is trying to divide Nigeria into two or three.”

Sunday Igboho was awaiting his fate at the Cour De’appal De Cotonou, Benin Republic, following his arraignment by the authorities of the country for immigration-related offences.

Igboho was taken to court on Thursday afternoon.

A source had told SaharaReporters that the activist was not for extradition to Nigeria.
