A former National Commissioner of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), in charge of Oyo, Ogun and Ekiti States, Professor Lai Olurode,
Olurode said the FG should allow Igboho, who was arrested in Cotonou airport on his way to Germany on Monday night, to have access to legal representation.
The former INEC chief, who spoke with reporters after Eid-el-Kabir prayer at The WING School, Iwo, Osun State on Tuesday, advised the FG to engage Igboho and Kanu’s groups and followers to discuss the way forward. “Of course, there will be legal representation for him but it is going to be an ordeal for him. I hope he will not be mistreated.”
“I will only caution that he should be treated with respect and access to legal representation. He should be accorded the right as a citizen of Nigeria. The state should be magnanimous enough to show the world that this is a decent country.
