Yoruba Nation activist, Sunday Adeyemo, aka Sunday Igboho, has arrived at Cour De’appal De Cotonou, Benin Republic.

Igboho, who was arrested around 8 pm on Monday at the International Criminal Police Organisation at the Cadjèhoun Airport in Cotonou, may be tried for immigration-related offences.

The activist and his wife, Ropo, were arrested at the airport when they wanted to catch a flight to Germany.

“He (Igboho) was arrested in Cotonou on Monday night while he tried to travel. He was already at the airport with a passport. The immigration officers suspected the passport and so they stopped him. In the process, they discovered he was the one,” a source familiar with the matter had told journalists.

Many Yoruba-speaking supporters of the activist were seen on the court premises on Thursday afternoon.
