SPIRITED efforts by the Federal Government of Nigeria to fasttrack the extradition of Yoruba nation activist, Chief Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Ighoho, might have suffered setback as he would be tried for obtaining fake Beninise international passport in Cotonou, Nigerian Tribune has gathered.
Though details of what transpired in the court on Thursday when Igboho was brought, alongside his wife, Ropo, were still sketchy, sources informed Nigerian Tribune that authorities in the neighbouring West African country insisted on fair trial for Igboho on immigration offence before considering the request of the Nigerian government for his extradition.
The couple was arraigned at the Cour De’appeal De Cotonou for immigration-related offences. While adjourning the matter till today, the court ordered Igboho to remain in prison custody. The court, however, ordered the release of his wife.
