*SDP says agitations won’t stop until social justice is in placeSupporters of a Yoruba secessionist agitator, Sunday Adeyemo otherwise known as Sunday Igboho, Wednesday, thronged a Benin Republic Appeal Court in solidarity, following his arrest on Monday by security agents working with International Police in that country.
The Contonou court was billed to hear Igboho’s extradition trial, which prompted his supporters to stage a protest, chanting Yoruba anthem and rendering songs to show solidarity with the activist. Meanwhile, Buratai reportedly knew about the likelihood that Igboho would explore the option of travelling through a neighbouring country.
“Gen. Buratai insisted on the arrest and extradition of the self-acclaimed Yoruba secessionist leader. His secret letter to the Benin government was delivered through the Nigerian Embassy in Benin asking them to be on the lookout for Igboho.” Buratai had served as Force Commander of the then reconstituted Multinational Joint Task Force in 2014 under the auspices of the Lake Chad Basin Commission and the Benin Republic.
