Sunday Igboho Freed: Yoruba Nation Agitator Grateful to Heroes of His Release

Sunday Igboho Freed

After two years of incarceration in a Benin prison, Sunday Igboho, a prominent Yoruba Nation agitator, is finally a free man.

In a heartfelt statement titled “My Release in Benin Republic,” posted on his Instagram handle, Igboho expressed his gratitude to various individuals and entities who played pivotal roles in securing his freedom.

Igboho’s journey to imprisonment began when he was arrested on July 19, 2021, by the International Criminal Police Organisation at Cadjèhoun Airport in Cotonou, Benin, while en route to Germany. He had fled Nigeria following a DSS raid on his Soka residence in Ibadan, where he was accused of stockpiling arms.

In his statement, Igboho first extended his appreciation to God and the global Yoruba community for their unwavering love and support during his time of trial. He also expressed his desire to give his dear mother a befitting burial.

The Yoruba agitator didn’t forget to commend Benin Republic’s President Talon and his cabinet for their role in his release. He went on to express his deep gratitude to prominent figures like former President Olusegun Obasanjo, Nobel laureate Wole Soyinka, Professor Banji Akintoye, Ayo Adebanjo, and several traditional rulers who stood by him throughout his ordeal.

His statement reads:

“First of all, my sincere appreciation goes to God almighty, the master of the universe for making this day. I want to say a big thank you to all Yoruba sons and daughters all over the world for their love and support before and after the loss of my dear mother, though she’s still kept at the morgue, waiting for me to come and give her the befitting burial that she deserves.

“I will not forget to appreciate former President Olusegun Obasanjo, Baba Ayo Adebanjo for their roles, even though only God gives freedom. Let me use this opportunity to say thank you to all religious leaders, pastors, Muslim clerics and traditional worshippers for their prayers day and night.

“Our royal fathers, Obas and Chiefs in Yoruba land, your love and support are so appreciated. But we need more of your support to deliver our lands from slavery because Yoruba land is ours.

“Although I have many Obas on my list, Olugbon of Orile Igbon and deputy chairman, Oyo State Council of Obas, Oba Francis Olushola Alao, Kabiesi Oba Topspin o ni Bariga of Bariga, Oba Tejuoso, Oni Kenta of Orile Kenta, Olugbo of Ugbo kingdom, Oba Fredrick Akinruntan Obateru, thanks immensely for your love.

“I must not forget to appreciate the Megarally USA under Prophet Ologunloluwa and the Directorate under the leadership of Barrister Ogedengbe. Special thanks to Ilana Omo Oodua, Canada and Igbega Omo Oodua USA and Canada.
