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.
