Sometime in 2003, a detachment of the Nigeria Police Force invaded Benin Republic and forcefully arrested Hammoni Tidjani, who was alleged to be behind the several cases of trans border crimes including armed robbery, car snatching and money laundering. He was brought to Nigeria and chargedbefore the Ogun and Lagos States High Court. He was standing trial in the Lagos High Court when he was reported to have died of stroke in a crowded cell at the Kirikiri Maximum Correctional Centre.
On July 1, 2021, the residence of Chief Sunday Adeyemo at Ibadan, Oyo State was raided by armed operatives of the State Security Service . Even though Igboho escaped arrest two of his guards were killed while 13 other people were forcefully arrested in the compound and taken to Abuja where they have since been held incommunicado. Thereafter, Igboho was declared wanted and put on International Criminal Police Organization watch-list by the State Security Service .
Accordingly, upon the receipt of a request for the extradition of Igboho, the Government of Benin Republic will be under a legal obligation to commence extradition proceedings in one of its domestic courts. It is pertinent to point out that by virtue of Article 28 of the ECOWAS Convention on Extradition, the procedure with regard to extradition and provisional arrest are governed solely by the law of the requested State, i.e. Benin Republic.
