Authorities in the Republic of Benin have extended the detention of self-acclaimed activist, SUNDAY ADEYEMO, popularly known as SUNDAY IGBOHO, by six months.
Chief YOMI ALIYYU, IGBOHO’s counsel, disclosed this in an interview.
ALIYYU was quoted to have said Benin Republic renewed IGNOHO’s incarceration despite that there was no criminal charge against him and no extradition request from the Nigerian Government.
Asked if his client would take any step to challenge the extension of his detention, ALIYYU said he would approach the court of the Economic Community of West African States.
IGBOHO was nabbed in the neighbouring African country while attempting to escape to Germany after a raid on his Ibadan, Oyo State, residence by the Department of State Service (DSS).
