Mr Igboho was nabbed at the Cardinal Bernadin International Airport in Cotonou while he was trying to travel to Germany.
“In a nation where bandits are in photo ops with some governors and Boko Haram members are being given amnesty, is it a crime to defend your people against invasion? This, we believe, is the sin of our brother, Sunday Igboho. All other issues are being joined to raise unnecessary sentiments.
His vehicles, including his G-wagon, Prado Jeep, and some valuable properties including furniture, and windows were destroyed. He said security operatives recovered the weapons after a “hot gun duel between them and Igboho’s guards”. The SSS also admitted that two of Mr Igboho’s men were killed in the process while a security agent was shot on the right hand and hospitalised.
He had also called for the eviction of Fulanis in South-west states, an action that was condemned by federal and state authorities.
