Playwright and Nobel Laureate, Prof Wole Soyinka, has on Sunday met with Yoruba Youth Leader (YYL) and Yoruba Nation campaigner, Sunday Adeyemo also known as Sunday Ighoho in the neighbouring Republic of Benin.
Yoruba Nation arrowhead and leader of the Umbrella body of Yoruba Self-determination Groups, Ilana Omo Oodua Worldwide, Banji Akintoye and his deputy, Prof Wale Adeniran were also at the meeting .
Details of the Sunday meeting were, however, sketchy as of press time.
Akintoye had on March 7, 2022, announced the release of Ighoho in the neighbouring Francophone country.
Declared wanted by the Department of State Services for allegedly stockpiling arms to destabilise Nigeria, an allegation he denied, Igboho had fled his Ibadan residence and escaped to Benin Republic in July 2021.
He was arrested by the Interpol at a Benin airport on July 19, 2021 when he tried to board a Germany-bound flight.
Igboho was, however, released on health grounds after about nine months in a detention facility in the neighbouring Francophone West African country.
His Lead Counsel, Yomi Aliyyu, had ruled out the possibility of his client’s return to Nigeria anytime soon.
