Ilana Oodua Gives Fresh Update On Sunday Igboho’s Detention In Benin Republic

The umbrella body of the Yoruba Self-Determination Groups, Ilana Omo Oodua, has asked Yoruba Nation agitators that a piece of good news will soon be announced on issues concerning Yoruba rights activist, Sunday Adeyemo, fondly called Igboho in Benin Republic.

The spokesperson for the group, Maxwell Adeleye, in an interview with The PUNCH on Monday, explained that Igboho was not abandoned.

He also asked Yoruba people to be confident and prayerful, saying that a favourable outcome should be expected.

When asked about an update on Igboho, who is being detained in Benin Republic, he said, “Expect good news soon. Yes, expect good news very soon.”

Recall that Igboho’ s home 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 by the International Criminal Police Organisation at the Cadjèhoun Airport in Cotonou, Republic of Benin alongside his wife Ropo, on their way to Germany.

His wife has been released but Igboho is currently in a detention facility in Benin Republic.
