Yoruba Nation agitator and separatist, Sunday Adeyemo better known as Sunday Igboho, has regained his freedom after two years of trial in the Republic of Benin.
.
Confirming his release to Nigerian Tribune, Igboho said he is free to leave Cotonou for Nigeria and any other country.
.
“I am now free to return to Nigeria and visit any country in the world. I have fulfilled all the legal conditions attached to my bail a few years back and I am coming home to Nigeria, my country of origin, any moment from now.
.
“I can confirm to you that I am now free to come back to Nigeria. There is no legal encumbrance again. Even though I have been living in Cotonou for some time, I can confirm to you categorically that I have now secured the liberty to leave Cotonou for Nigeria,” the embattled activist said.
.
Igboho ran into trouble with the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari, when he declared the Yoruba Nation’s sovereignty.
.
To actualise his agenda, he launched a campaign to chase killer herdsmen and kidnappers out of Yorubaland.
.
The development prompted the Department of State Services to launch a manhunt for him.
.
However, following the raid of his residence in Ibadan by operatives of the DSS, Igboho fled to Cotonou, where he was arrested in July 2021.
.
According to the DSS, illegal arms including seven AK-47 rifles and thousands of ammunition were recovered from his residence.
.
He was arrested at the Cardinal Bernardin International Airport in Cotonou, Benin Republic while attempting to flee to Germany after the DSS had declared him wanted.
