The Yoruba monarchs of the Republic of Benin who met on Sunday over the arrest and detention of the Yoruba nation’s freedom fighter, Sunday Igboho, have decided to write to the country’s president, Patrice Talon.
The monarchs made the disclosure after a meeting at the Ajohoun Palace in Adjohoun, Benin, on Sunday.
DAILY POST reported earlier that the traditional rulers of this West African country gathered to discuss ways to ensure that the secessionist I had freed by the Beninese authorities.
Igboho, who is currently being held by security forces in Cotonou following his arrest on Monday alongside his German wife, will be in Beninese court on Monday to hear on his extradition.
The activist was arrested by the International Criminal Police Organization at Cadjèhoun Airport in Cotonou, Republic of Benin, after being declared wanted in Nigeria by the Department of State Security Services, DSS.
The traditional leaders told BBC News Yoruba at the end of the meeting that they were working to find a solution to Sunday Igboho’s problems with the country’s authorities.
They said it had been agreed that a letter should be written to the President of the Republic of Benin, the Minister of Justice, the Minister of the Interior and the Speaker of the country’s parliament.
One of the monarchs, King Siyan Aladjohoun d’Adjohoun, said they plan to visit the country’s president and other government officials to resolve the issues.
