Yoruba Youths Leader (YYL) and freedom fighter, Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, has been arrested in Cotonou, Benin Republic by security operatives.
Igboho was arrested by the security forces in Benin Republic about three weeks after the Department of State Services (DSS) declared him wanted for allegedly stockpiling arms, an allegation he has since denied.
A source privy to his departure from Nigeria said he had perfected plans to secretly escape from Nigeria through Cotonou and was said to be heading to Germany.
Igboho was, however, arrested by security operatives in the neighboring country and plans are on to bring him back to Nigeria on Tuesday, according to reports.
A source privy to the incident, said, “Sunday Igboho has been arrested in Cotonou. He was arrested about an hour ago.
“He was supposed to travel to Germany through Cotonou this night. He wanted to leave Africa through Cotonou. He was arrested by security operatives in Cotonou.
“They are planning to bring him back to Nigeria.”
