This platform reported earlier that the Yoruba nation activist, Sunday Igboho had been arrested at Cotonou, Republic of Benin.
Akintoye said that “leading lawyers in Benin Republic are now in charge.”
Akintoye further said, “For a start, we must all see to it now that Sunday Ighoho will get his freedom back so as to be able to move and operate as a free person. We all know he has committed no crime.
“We have secured the services of a leading and highly respected lawyer whom we can confidently rely on.
“We know, furthermore, that for the protection of his people who are being brutalized, he has joined hands with many of his brethren to take the legally-appropriate step, namely to seek the intervention of the International Criminal Court.”
