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.
He however vowed to return to the country as soon as Ighoho is released by the Beninise government.
