The International Criminal Police Organisation arrested Yoruba Nation agitator, Sunday Adeyemo, with his wife, Ropo, in Cotonou, Benin Republic, the activist’s lead counsel, Yomi Alliyu (SAN), has said.

Alliyu revealed this in a statement obtained by The PUNCH on Tuesday.

According to him, the Federal Government of Nigeria through INTERPOL got Adeyemo aka Sunday Igboho and his wife, who is a German citizen, 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 described the arrest of his client as shocking and 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 Nigerian secret police had raided Igboho’s Ibadan residence in the Soka area on July 1, 2021, arrested about 12 of his aides and killed two of them in a gun duel.

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.

Infact it seems it's a right of passage. If the Nigerian government has not arrested you at one time in your life then you're not great.
Na to dey arrest beta people dem sabi but if they see notorious bandit leader kakani dem go run cause that one no go gree make dem arrest am without taking out at least 50 people.

I suspect that they apprehended him during the raid at his Ibadan resident, he was probably shot and badly injured. They didn’t deem him fit for parade that’s why they keep releasing different stories. Only God can help Nigerians, as it stands you can’t defend yourself let alone fight for your rights.

Lewisjohnson:
Kill Igboho now,
De should put Igboho in desame Cage wit Kanu
4 + 4 = 2023, Sai baba, haters drink sniper

It baffles me that some people have not come to terms with what Federal Government really mean.

Even as influential as Dangote with his money, foreign network and contacts/connections can't dare the Federal government.
El-zazaky with the most dreaded followers is still cooling off in confinement.

Kanu who boasted that he can play God with his 2m men is in the dungeon of the DSS without a single protest from his so call 2m men in Nigeria soil.
What about the great Tompolo of old, where is he?
After God fear Government!
