Falana said the Benin Republic government, however, refused to put the freedom fighter, on the waiting plane.
Human rights lawyer, Femi Falana, has said the Nigerian government told their Benin Republic counterpart to repatriate Yoruba freedom fighter, Sunday Adeyemo, aka Sunday Igboho, after his arrest in the Francophone country in July.
“The Benin government made its Nigerian counterpart to understand that this is not a lawless society.” The Department of State Services had on July 1 raided the residence of Igboho in Ibadan, Oyo State. The activist, alongside others, had planned to hold a ”Yoruba Nation Rally” in Lagos two days after the raid.
