The self-acclaimed Yoruba freedom fighter, Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, has been arrested by security operatives in Cotonou, Benin Republic.
Igboho was arrested Monday night, after fleeing Nigeria to evade arrest by Nigeria’s Secret Police.
Speaking with an on-line media platform, a source privy to his departure from Nigeria, said he had perfected plans to secretly escape from Nigeria through Cotonou and was heading to Germany but was however nabbed by security operatives in the neighbouring country.
“They are planning to bring him back to Nigeria.”, the source stated.
Recall that the Department of State Services, (DSS), had declared Igboho as ‘wanted’ after its operatives carried out a bloody midnight raid on his residence in the Soka area of Ibadan, Oyo State.
The Nigerian authorities are yet to confirm the news of his arrest in Cotonou as at the time of filing this report.
