A Renowned Historian and Leader of Yoruba Self-Determination Groups, Emeritus Professor Banji Akintoye, has confirmed the arrest of Yoruba freedom fighter, Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho in Benin Republic.
In a statement he personally signed and made available to Pressman by his Communications Manager, Maxwell Adeleye, the leader of the Yoruba group asked all Yoruba People within and in diaspora to rally round and ensure that their ancestral land is not subdued by invaders.
In his words, he said: “I received last night the troubling information that Chief Sunday Adeyemo fondly called Igboho had been arrested at the Cotonou Airport.
“I and other Yoruba Patriots who are immediately available have started working to provide the assistance necessary to ensure that nobody will be able to do Igboho anything unlawful and to prevent him from being extradited into Nigeria which is strongly possible.
“Fortunately, Benin Republic is reliably a land of law where the authorities responsibly obey the law.
He added that he has secured the services of a leading and highly respected lawyer whom the body can confidently rely on.
