Extradition: Igboho surrenders

Yoruba Nation agitator Sunday Adeyemo seems to have resigned to fate going by his latest statement from the Cotonou jail where he has been for months now.

Speaking in a leaked audio obtained by Sahara Reporters recently published, Igboho has prepared himself for whatever happens.

“My journey in life is between me and my God, I have accepted my fate where I’m currently. I’m not afraid of anything again, except my God. Even if taken before the Judge, I’ll tell him I’m not afraid of him except God. He can do anything to me.

“Even if it’s Nigeria they want to take me to, I’m not afraid. At least Nnamdi Kanu is there, we are both fighting for the same cause. If they want to take me back to Nigeria, then no problem.

“I have been winning my cases in Nigeria, even (Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar) Malami was forced to appeal some of them. It got to a stage he claimed he wasn’t aware of DSS (Department of State Services) attack on my house. He claimed he didn’t send them.

“It wasn’t the power of the Beninese government that made me to be here, it was because God wanted it like that. And I’m sure God will soon release me from prison even if all lawyers say they are not ready to defend me again. I’m not afraid of anything or anybody again. If it’s Nigeria, let them take me there. My father was very powerful when he was alive, but he died. He and my mum were very poor. But look at me today, I’m rich.”

Igboho and his wife were arrested July 20 in Benin on their way to Germany, after he was declared wanted in Nigeria by the DSS which invaded his Soka home in Ibadan.

The service said it recovered guns in the course of arresting 12 of his aides.
