Facts on Tuesday emerged about how Nigeria’s Ambassador to the Benin Republic, Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai (retd.), was instrumental to the arrest of the Yoruba nation activist, Sunday Adeyemo, also known as Sunday Igboho.
A top security source in the Benin Republic confided in The PUNCH that the former Chief of Army Staff wrote the government of the small West African country and insisted on the arrest and extradition of Igboho.
The Yoruba Global Alliance (YGA) has condemned the raid on the Soka premises of Mr. Sunday Adeyemo popularly known as Igbogho Oosha, by a combined team of soldiers and Directorate of State Services (DSS) operatives, describing the invasion as an irrational surrender to barbarism, lawlessness and the flagrant abuse of the fundamental human right of the activist.
