Sunday Igboho thanks Obasanjo, Soyinka, others after release from Beninese prison

 Yoruba Nation activist, Chief Sunday Adeyemo, also known as
Sunday Igboho, has thanked former president, Olusegun Obasanjo, Nobel laureate,
Wole Soyinka, Professor Banji Akintoye, Ayo Adebanjo and several traditional
rulers for the roles they played in securing his release from Beninese custody.

 

Igboho gave his appreciation in a statement on Sunday he
read via his Instagram handle titled, “My Release in Benin Republic”.

 

Igboho’s statement partly read, “First of all, my sincere
appreciation goes to God almighty, the master of the universe for making this
day.

 

“I give special thanks to President Talon of Benin Republic
and to all members of his cabinet. My gratitude goes to my heroic father,
Professor Banji Akintoye, and Professor Wole Soyinka for their support in the
course of the struggle. May God reward you Baba for your standing courageously
for our Yoruba nation and me. You promised to stand by me through my ordeal in
Benin Republic and you have fulfilled your promise.

 

“I will not forget to appreciate former President Olusegun
Obasanjo, Baba Ayo Adebanjo for their roles, even though only God gives
freedom. Let me use this opportunity to say thank you to all religious leaders,
pastors, Muslim clerics and traditional worshippers for their prayers day and night.”

 

Recall that Igboho was arrested on July 19, 2021, by the
International Criminal Police Organisation at the Cadjèhoun Airport in Cotonou,
the Republic of Benin on his way to Germany.

 

The activist had fled Nigeria following a bloody raid on his
Soka residence in Ibadan, Oyo State capital by the Department of State Service
(DSS), which accused him of hoarding arms.
