SDP says agitations won’t stop until social justice is in place

Supporters of a Yoruba secessionist agitator, Sunday Adeyemo otherwise known as Sunday Igboho, Wednesday, thronged a Benin Republic Appeal Court (Palais De Justice, Cour D’Appel De Cotonou) in solidarity, following his arrest on Monday by security agents working with International Police (Interpol) in that country.
Curiously, however, a former Chief of Army Staff, Lt Gen. Tukur Buratai, has been fingered in Igboho’s arrest after he allegedly wrote a letter to Benin authorities ahead of Igboho’s trip and consequently facilitated his arrest.
Buratai, who is Nigeria’s Ambassador to Benin Republic, allegedly knew that Igboho’s exit route would be a neighboring country and therefore pulled a fast one, which culminated in his arrest alongside his wife, Ropo, a German, at the Benin Airport on their way to Germany.
