Counsel for Yoruba Nation agitator, Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, Ibrahim David Salami has debunked news making the rounds that the rights activist was carrying a Benin Republic passport with him when he was arrested, stressing that he only had on him a Nigerian and German passport.
This is contrary to claims that Igboho was tried for possessing a Beninise passport despite not being a citizen of the country.
Salami told BBC Yoruba that “It is not true that Benin Republic passport was found on Sunday Igboho when he was arrested.He doesn’t have that.
“What was found on him were Nigerian and German passport. His wife had only her German passport on her at the point of arrest.”
Following the bloody raid on Igboho’s Sooka residence, the Department of State Services arrested and detained 13 of Igboho’s associates, adding that during a “gun duel,” it had killed two of Igboho’s supporters later identified as Adogan and Alfa.
