Sunday Igboho freed in Benin Republic

Yoruba activist, Sunday Igboho has regained his full freedom in neighbouring Benin Republic, no more restricted by his bail condition.

Prof. Banji Akintoye, leader of Yoruba Nation group, said Igboho was freed on Sunday and has left for Germany to join his family.

Igboho was arrested in July 2021, while he was about to board a flight to Germany, weeks after he survived a deadly assault by security agents in his Ibadan home.

The DSS later declared him wanted.

However, Igboho sneaked out of the country, with plans to join his family in Germany.

In an interview with Nigerian Tribune, Igboho, said he is now free to leave Benin.

“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 few years back and I am coming home to Nigeria, my country of origin, any moment from now.
