Finally, Igboho aides released
The eight followers of Yoruba nationalist Sunday Adeyemo Igboho have finally been released to their lawyers Pelumi Olajengbesi.

Four detainees still being held are Mrs Amudat Babatunde, Abideen Shittu, Jamiu Oyetunji, and Bamidele Sunday who got bail in the sum of N10 million each with two sureties in like sum.
