Yoruba nation agitator Sunday Adeyemo (Igboho) on Thursday appeared in a Beninoise court in Cotonou on immigration-related offences.
He is expected back in court Friday, according to a British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) Yoruba report monitored in Lagos. Information about the nature of the “immigration-related offences” remained scanty last night. The charges against him could also not be ascertained. But he was represented by a Beninoise lawyer, it was learnt.
A source said Igboho may have to defend the allegation of holding a fake passport with which he was about to travel to Europe before his arrest at the Cotonou Airport on Monday night. Igboho was declared wanted on July 2 after a raid on his Ibadan residence by Security Operatives. He evaded arrest.
His supporters were in court on Thursday but nobody was allowed into the court room except lawyers. Igboho was brought from police custody to the court late afternoon The agitator came to court with his wife, Ropo, who was freed and her German passport, seized when she was arrested along with her husband, released to her.
