Since his incarceration in Cotonou, Yoruba separatist Sunday Adeyemo aka Igboho has been having a dream instead of a nightmare a regular prisoner has in Nigeria.

Igboho is obviously having a blast in there, enjoying electricity, according to his letter to Nigeria which he sent through his spokesman Olayomi Koiki, now in the UK.

“Our father, Chief Sunday Igboho extends his greetings to all Yoruba indigenes all over the world,” the letter first published by SaharaReporters stated.

“He also asked me to send my greetings to the King, Ooni of Ife, Adeyeye Ogunwusi, he said I should really appreciate you for the support, he said he can see how you’re supporting him because his wife is delivering the messages.

“He said I should also thank the Oba Tejuoso who has arrived in Benin Republic though they haven’t seen each other. He also said I should thank our father, the Olugbon.

“Igboho also asked me to extend my greeting to Wole Soyinka, he said I should also thank President Talon of the Benin Republic, he said I should thank the Minister of Justice (in Benin Republic) because despite what’s happening, the security of Igboho’s wife is guaranteed.

“He said we should take a look at Benin Republic enjoying steady electricity supply. That’s what we desire in the Yoruba Nation we have been agitating for and we will get there very soon.”

Igboho was arrested in July in Benin Republic, on his way to Germany, having been declared wanted in Nigeria since the DSS recovered weapons and charms from his Soka home in Ibadan.

He thanked many Yoruba traditional and political leaders, including Ooni of Ife, Oba Enitan Ogunwusi; Osile of Oke Ona Egbaland, Oba Adedapo Adewale Tejuoso; Olugbon of Orile Igbo, Oba Francis Alao; Nobel Laureate, Prof Wole Soyinka, President of Benin Republic, Patrice Talon and the country’s Minister of Justice.

Igboho, however, leaves out former President Olusegun Obasanjo and the Afenifere.

The National Daily earlier reported how Obasanjo went to Benin Republic, weeks ago, to meet Talon and a former president.

The Afenifere confirmed it sent him to help Igboho get some soft landing.
