The Beninese government has released Sunday Adeyemo, also known as Sunday Igboho, a leader of the Yoruba nation.
The agitator said on Sunday that he was now legally free to go to Nigeria and other nations from Cotonou, the capital of the Benin Republic.
I’m now free to travel wherever in the globe and return to Nigeria. I’ve complied with all the legal requirements imposed on my bail from a few years ago, and I’m about to return to my native Nigeria.
“I can assure you that I am now free to travel to Nigeria again. There is no longer any legal burden. Despite the fact that I have lived in Cotonou for a while, I can certainly state that I now have the freedom to travel to Nigeria, Adeyemo told the Nigerian Tribune on Sunday.
After a two-year trial by the Beninese government, he was allowed to leave again.
The PUNCH claims that when Adeyemo proclaimed the Yoruba Nation’s sovereignty in March 2021, he ignited a hornet’s nest.
In addition to urging Yoruba in Hausa/Fulani or Igbo territory to return home, he launched a campaign to drive killer herdsmen and kidnappers out of the South-West states.
