Akintoye, a renowned historian, is one of the leaders of the Nigerian Indigenous National Alliance for Self-Determination (NINAS).

The body has announced a “One Million March” at the United Nations headquarters in New York, to seek referendum on self-determination and abolition of Nigeria’s 1999 constitution.

The Second Republic Senator had insisted that he and Igboho committed no offence against the Nigeria state to warrant arrest and detention.
