Yomi Alliyu, the lead counsel to the Yoruba Nation Activist, Sunday Adeyemo, otherwise known as Sunday Igboho, has said that it was the International Criminal Police Organisation which arrested Igboho alongside his wife, Ropo, in Cotonou, Benin Republic.

According to him, the Federal Government of Nigeria through INTERPOL got Adeyemo aka Sunday Igboho, who is a German citizen, and his wife arrested on Monday night at an airport in Benin Republic, one of Nigeria’s neighbouring countries in the West African sub-region.

Igboho was arrested while he tried to catch a flight to Germany with his wife.

The senior advocate urged the government of Germany, Benin Republic and the international community “to rise up and curb the impunity of the Nigerian Government by refusing any application for extradition of our Client who already has application before the International Criminal Court duly acknowledged”.

The Federal Government of Nigeria had placed the Nigeria Immigration Service and the Nigeria Customs Service on alert to stop Igboho from leaving the country.

A source privy to his departure from Nigeria on Monday had told SaharaReporters that Igboho tried to leave Nigeria through Cotonou and was heading to Germany.

He was, however, nabbed by security operatives in the neighboring country.

Speaking with SaharaReporters, a source privy to the incident, had said, "Sunday Igboho has been arrested in Cotonou. He was arrested about an hour ago. He was supposed to travel to Germany through Cotonou this night. He wanted to leave Africa through Cotonou. He was arrested by security operatives in Cotonou.

"They are planning to bring him back to Nigeria."

Nigerians are solidly behind Igboho

This lawyers talks too much.
That's not how lawyers talk

This lawyer talks too much

Nigerian government always on alert to safe themselves... I want to see same effort put into fighting bandits and bhuhari harams...
So our immigration are this active and bhuhari harams have been going in and out the country bringing arms without any problem...

A threat to them is a threat to Nigeria but a threat to the poor is treated as minor..

The only international part of nigeria, dat is working.is their link with interpol.
If u know any other part,tell me.

Talking is their strategy of gaining sympathy in an unfavorable situation, that how it is for most lawyers especially in Africa if you don't call for public sympathy, your client will rotten in jail.

The other time you said Igboho surrendered to the police and not arrested, today you are saying that the Interpol arrested him, you are speaking from both sides of your lips, which version of your story are we to believe now, is this the kind of defense you will put up for your client, then Igboho is doomed because I can see you loosing your case even in Benin Republic,
