I’m Not Afraid To Join Nnamdi Kanu In Nigeria’ ‐ Igboho blasts Lawyers For Not Getting Him Freedom

The embattled Yoruba Nation agitator, Chief Sunday Adeyemo aka Sunday Igboho, has said he is not afraid of being extradited to Nigeria from Benin Republic where he is currently being held in detention.

Igboho, who spoke in a leaked audio from detention, also blasted his team of counsels based in Benin Republic for not being able to secure his release since July 19 when he was arrested in Cotonou.

He said he had spent so much money to fight his detention but nothing positive has come out of it for over 50 days.

Igboho, who narrowly survived the July 1 early morning raid carried out on his Ibadan residence by operatives of the Department of State Services said his lawyers were free to drop his case if they liked, saying God would defend him.

Igboho had gone underground after the bloody attack on his residence where two persons were killed and 12 persons were arrested.

He was however trying to travel to Germany together with his wife, Ropi, when INTERPOL arrested the two of them on July 19. His wife was eventually released but Igboho has been in detention since then.

Igboho said, “If they want to extradite me to Nigeria, let them go ahead. I am not afraid. After all, Kanu is in Nigeria and we are agitating for the same secession.

“I have been here for about two months and the lawyers didn’t come to check on me.

“It was God who apprehended me himself not any security official in Benin Republic. The God who arrested me will definitely release me. That is my faith. Even if all the lawyers say they are no more interested in my case, God will free me. I am no more afraid of anything.

“Those ones are not lawyers. They called themselves lawyers yet they couldn’t stop the judge from remanding me in a prison. Lawyers that couldn’t prevail on the prison warders to remove handcuff from my hands for seven days. And they were all heavily paid.

” Some of them got N5m, N4m, N3m and they can’t get the chains off my hands despite the fact that I didn’t rob anyone and didn’t commit any crime. I am not afraid of any lawyer, let them do their worst. My being in prison was predetermined.”

Igboho also said he was not invited by the DSS but said the secret police just swooped on his house and killed two of his people after destroying his property.

He said further, “I was not invited but they came to my house with armoured tank and destroyed everything.

“I only complained about the suffering of my people in the hands of criminal herders. I entered the bush myself and chased them out but the government came after me after failing to secure the people.

“I was never with any gun during my Yoruba Nation rallies. We own oil, we own almost everything in the South but we suffer the most. But we can’t continue this way.”
