Yoruba nation agitator, Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, is safer in neighbouring Benin Republic than in Nigeria, one of his lawyers said on Saturday.

“He (Igboho) is safer in Benin. He is not at all safe in Nigeria. Sending him to Nigeria means certain death,” Ibrahim David Salami told AFP.”

The Yoruba nation agitator, on the other hand, fled the country to Benin but was later arrested by authorities en route to Germany.

While the Federal Government is making effort to extradite him, Salami insisted that Nigerian authorities have yet to officially begin the process.

“What we feared at the start was an extradition request but there is no such demand,” the lawyer said.

“The fact that he is being investigated for a violation that could have been committed on Beninese territory is a hurdle to an extradition request as this case will first have to be sorted out.”
