His lead counsel, Ibrahim Salami, revealed this in an interview with BBC Yoruba on Tuesday.
Salami said Igboho told the judge that he was put on a watchlist by the Nigerian government for fighting against killer herdsmen.“He explained that he didn’t do anything illegal in Nigeria. He clarified that Nigeria government never charged him to a court or jailed him for any offence. He was never invited to any Police Station.
“Igboho said he never had any criminal record in Nigeria. He told the judge that the Nigerian government was after him, because he was defending the Yoruba race against killer Fulani herdsmen.“He was asked when he got to Benin Republic, how he got in and how long it took him. Igboho replied that he left Nigeria on Sunday, got into Benin on Monday and attempted to leave to Germany on Monday night before he was arrested.
