Yoruba monarchs storm Cotonou Court for Igboho
Some Yoruba monarchs and supporters of the embattled Yoruba Nation agitator, Sunday Adeyemo aka Sunday Igboho have stormed the Cour De’appal De Cotonou in the Benin Republic for his trial.
Also, Yoruba indigenes especially from the southwest, who are also indigenes of Benin Republic, were in court ahead of the arrival of Igboho.
Creekvibes News Magazine recalls that, the Yoruba Nation agitator, who was declared wanted by the Department of State Service (DSS) was arrested in Cotonou’s airport while he was trying to travel to Germany.
It was gathered that a Yoruba rights group, Isokan Omo Odua, also mobilised supporters for the embattled agitator as a sign of solidarity.
However, in a live update on BBC Yoruba on Monday monitored by Ripples Nigeria, Igboho’s supporters were seen outside the court premises waiting for his arrival, while some were inside the court, seated and waiting patiently for the hearing to commence.
Also, the BBC correspondent confirmed to have sighted Igboho’s wife, Ropo, and some Yoruba traditional rulers at the court premises.
Details of the court hearing will be published soon.
