Yoruba Nation agitator, Sunday Adeyemo also known as Sunday Igboho, has been arrested in Cotonou, Benin Republic.
He was arrested at an airport in Cotonou on Monday night, a top source familiar with the matter told newsmen.
Igboho was arrested by the security forces in Benin Republic about three weeks after the Department of State Services declared him wanted for allegedly stockpiling arms, an allegation he has since denied.
The source told newsmen that Igboho will be repatriated to Nigeria on Tuesday (today) from Benin Republic, one of Nigeria’s neighbouring countries in the West African sub region.
Report has it that he was arrested in Cotonou while he tried to travel out on Monday night and his destination was Germany.
Recall that the Nigerian secret police had raided Igboho's Ibadan residence in Soka area on July 1, 2021 and arrested about 12 of his aides and killed two of them in a gun duel.
The Federal Government of Nigeria had placed the Nigeria Immigration Service and the Nigeria Customs Service on alert to stop Igboho from leaving the country.
