Yoruba Nation agitator, Sunday Igboho, has been returned to the custody of Brigade Criminelle in Cotonou, Benin Republic until tomorrow, Friday, July 23, to continue hearing the charge levelled against him.
Igboho is being tried for obtaining a Beninese passport without being a citizen. Igboho and his wife, Ropo, were arrested at the Cardinal Bernardin International Airport, Cotonou on Monday, July 19 while trying to catch a flight to Germany.
After hearing the case at the Cour D’Appel De Cotonou, the government lawyer didn’t address journalists. Ìgbòho’s lawyer, however, explained that “this is not the best time to say anything on the case” and then expressed optimism that things would turn out for good.
