Yoruba Nation agitator Sunday Igboho arrested in Cotonou on Monday Night.
He was arrested at an airport in Cotonou on Monday night, a top source familiar with the matter told our correspondent.
Igboho was arrested by the security forces in Benin Republic about three weeks after the Department of State Services declared him wanted for allegedly stockpiling arms, an allegation he has since denied.
Igboho was repatriated to Nigeria on Tuesday (today) from Benin Republic, one of Nigeria’s neighbouring countries in the West African sub region.
“He was arrested in Cotonou while he tried to travel out on Monday night. His destination was Germany. The security forces in Benin Republic should repatriate him to Nigeria on Tuesday,” An Anonymous source said.
This is the similar tactics that was used on IPOB leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu who was arrested in Kenya by the Kenya authorities.
