Igboho had been arrested on Monday night in Cotonou as sources noted that he was heading for Germany.

One of the counsels to the Yoruba freedom fighter, Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, who was arrested in Cotonou, Benin Republic, Pelumi Olajengbesi, has state that the activist surrendered himself and was not captured by the security operatives.

Igboho had been arrested on Monday night in Cotonou as sources noted that he was heading for Germany.

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

Speaking with SaharaReporters on Tuesday morning, Olajengbesi said, “Truly he was arrested and I have confirmed that. We are making efforts to ensure that he is fine. You know the Department of State Services declared him wanted. We just believe that Sunday Igboho is not the problem. He is someone who believed that the Yoruba people and Nigerians generally should live in peace wherever they are.

“As a matter of fact, let me tell you now. That Sunday Igboho was arrested simply because he wanted to make himself available to the government. If not, Sunday Igboho is not someone who can be arrested that way. But because he believes that the journey to justice for the Yoruba people and for the Nigerian state to be able to live in peace may be needed for him to be available, that was why.”

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."

Recall that the Department of State Services had declared Igboho wanted after its operatives carried out a bloody midnight raid on his residence in the Soka area of Ibadan, Oyo State.

The DSS Public Relations Officer, Peter Afunnaya, had advised Igboho to turn himself in to the nearest security.
“Those cheering and eulogising him may appeal to or advise him to do the needful,” Afunnaya said. “He should surrender himself to the appropriate authorities. He or anyone can never be above the law."

OkayWhat I find confusing is the confused lawyer tag, OP pls explain how the lawyer is confused

Igboho is the greatest Yoruba man after Afonja who is probably the greatest ever. His only sin was demanding that his people should no longer be treated as slaves and that there should be no more Emirs in Yoruba land. What is bad about his demands if I may ask?

I thought that before,



"No deaf gods like the police and DSS can arrest igboho ,impossible ni!"


Yoruba people don't run from danger like that idiot in buhar's cage..we are not weak in character but very strong in character

Please we don't want tribal bigots from the yeastern side on this thread.

Let's make him more popular and little by little is dream is coming true

Last last they will make another agitator popular

This lawyer is very confused indeed. If he truly wanted to surrender to DSS of his own accord, then why did he have to run to Cotonou do that? His story doesn't make sense. I believe the earlier report that he was captured while trying to flee to Germany which exposes the fact that there must be lots of snitches in his camp.

Nothing pains more than being betrayed.

Herdmen are wiping off indigenes, bandits are trying their new guns on police, Boko Haram are killing men and raping women in the north, yet your only problem is Sunday Igbogho. Bastards!

I don't even know what this guy is looking for in the affairs of the Nigeria and it's hippocratic citizens. The same people cheering you will be the first to castigate and point you to your enemy. If I had got the opportunity, I would have advised him long ago to stop the so called freedom fighting and let everyone also stand and fight for thier own right themselves.

Are these not the same people who voted for buhari and make him the president?? So why do I have to fight for them and put my own life at stake?? I have never voted in my life and I'm not sure I will be ready to do so in the nearest future.

Envelope change hands Sunday igboho stop agitating,that's all I've seen.

Hmmmm... Lekki had started flooding this Sallah day again

OP is an aboki daunce na. Let him twist the headline all he cares. Bandits are gunning down fighter jets but our abókis are more worried about Kanu and igboho.

When we first battled the herdsmen, they laughed. Later, the herdsmen faced them and when their men decided to fight back they were locked up and nothing was done to the herdsmen.

During Python Dance, they cheered the military. Later they were massacred in their land.

When Nnamdi Kanu was doing what Igboho is doing, they said he should be arrested. But Igboho is doing the same thing today.

When Ipob people were arrested, they said they should be locked up. Later, Igboho's men protested and were locked up. They are asked to bail each of them with 300k. I don't think they have been bailed yet.

When Nnamdi Kanu ran away after they invaded his house to kill him, they said he is a coward, that only cowards run away from the war front. Now, my man ran away from the war front and has been caught in Cotonou.

When Nnamdi Kanu was "intercepted" they jubilated. Now this story.

They need to understand what God means when He said that He will bless whoever bless His people and curse whoever curses them.

Haha. He surrendered in Cotonou. The way Yorubas love to twist their Bleep up eh. All the juju no save am. By the way, Sunday is not a terrorist, we have bigger terrorists in Aso rock.

If someone says stop killing my people, that makes him a hero and not a terrorist. Ndi ala

Exactly. He gave himself up in Cotonou. He is very smart, he knows that giving himself up in Ibadam will be cheap, so he had to run to Cotonou first to do it. What a fearless Yoruba guy.
