It was gathered that many supporters of Igboho had already arrived in Cotonou, Benin Republic to show solidarity with the agitator.
A Yoruba rights group, Isokan Omo Odudua has offered free accommodation to those who wish to travel to Cotonou, Benin Republic for the court hearing of Yoruba freedom fighter Sunday Adeyemo, aka Sunday Igboho, which is slated for Monday. Last week, SaharaReporters reported how some Yoruba people in Benin Republic thronged the court premises to support Igboho. Isokan Omo Odudua said 30 people have travelled to Cotonou on its bill and called for more in a statement released on Sunday.
“I urge all Igboho's supporters to stop thronging the courts and stay at home and pray for him. They are passing a wrong message by protesting in front of the court when we are in there trying to get justice for him,” he said. Igboho was arrested alongside his wife at the Cardinal Bernardin International Airport, Cotonou, Benin Republic, on Monday. On Thursday, he was arraigned before a judge at Cour De’appal De Cotonou.
