SaharaReporters learnt that the lawyers, both French and English speaking, however, failed to convince the court after a 13-hour trial on Monday as to why Igboho should be extradited.
The Nigerian government assembled at least six lawyers at the Cour De’Appel De Cotonou, Benin Republic, on Monday, in its desperate bid to secure the extradition of Yoruba Nation agitator, Sunday Adeyemo, more commonly called Sunday Igboho.“The court session took no less than 13 hours because of frequent breaks in-between. Also, the Beninese court system is different from the system of law in Nigeria.
“Nigerian courts have an adversarial system of justice but Benin Republic has an inquisitorial system; a justice system in which the judge takes the matter on himself to inquire like an investigator, asking questions and probing the two parties,” a legal source said.
