Igboho Remains In Beninese Cell As Court Adjourns Hearing

The embattled Yoruba Nation agitator, Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, has been returned to cell in Benin Republic.

His return to the custody of Brigade Criminelle in Cotonou followed the decision of the Court D’Appeal to adjourn the hearing on his extradition to Friday, July 23, 2021.

However, Igboho’s wife, who was arrested alongside her husband at an airport in Cotonou, was released.

Prime Business Africa reports that Igboho’s extradition trial resumed Thursday following his arrest by the International Criminal Police Organisation in Cotonou, Benin Republic shortly after the Federal Government raised alarm that the activist was making moves to fly out of the country.
