Yoruba Nation agitator Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho has been arrested in Cotonou, Benin Republic.
Igboho was reportedly arrested by Benin Republic security forces at an airport in Cotonou on Monday night.
Recall that the freedom fighter was recently declared wanted by the Department of State Services (DSS) over alleged activities threatening the corporate existence of Nigeria.
Sunday Igboho was reportedly trying to fly out through the West African neighboring country before he was intercepted. He intended to travel to Germany.
Yoruba Nation Agitations
Sunday Igboho has led rallies in Ondo, Ekiti, Osun, Oyo, and Ogun states. He threatened to hold the rally in Lagos on July 3 but his home was invaded barely 72 hours to the planned date.
Igboho has in the past also called for the eviction of Fulanis in South-west states, an action that was condemned by federal and state authorities.
Yoruba Nation agitation is a political ideology to realize the independence and sovereign country for the Yoruba race in Nigeria but many political leaders in the region have rejected and kicked against the idea.
