There is a cheering news from the camp of Yoruba Nation proponents as activist, Chief Sunday Adeyemo, popularly called Sunday Ighoho, has been released by the Government of Republic of Benin.
The activist was released on Monday to a Yoruba leader and leader of the Umbrella body of Yoruba Self-determination Groups, Ilana Omo Oodua Worldwide, Professor Banji Akintoye and a French Language Expert/ Deputy Alana of Ilana Omo Oodua Worldwide, Professor Wale Adeniran.
In a statement by the Communications Secretary to Ilana Omo Oodua Worldwide, Mr Maxwell Adeleye, Akintoye described the release of Ighoho as a “triumph of truth over darkness in Yorubaland.
The activist Igboho was arrested by Beninoise Police last year, July 2021, three weeks after he was declared wanted by Nigeria’s secret police.
Igboho, a campaigner for Yoruba self-determination, was arrested in neighbouring Cotonou, Benin Republic, while trying to travel to Germany.
