Breaking: Igboho slammed with fresh charges in Beninese Court

The embattled Yoruba agitator, Sunday Adeyemo, alias Igboho has been slammed with fresh charges by Benin Republic.

Speaking on BBC yoruba, Igboho’s lead Counsel, Ibrahim Salami said they were earlier expecting extradition charges from the Nigerian government.

The lawyer disclosed that the offences with which Igboho was charged are illegal migration, dubious connivance with immigration officers and an attempt to cause civil unrest.

He said his client has been detained to give way for thorough investigation of the allegations by the Police.

“First, the judge wanted to know how Sunday Igboho entered into the Benin Republic through an illegal means. They also want to investigate how Sunday Igboho conspired with others to enter Benin Republic through wrong means.

“They also want to know how long he has been in Benin Republic and his plans in the country. They also raised a charge on whether he wants to come and cause unrest or social disturbance in Benin Republic,” the lawyer said in an interview with BBC Yoruba.
