Lawyer for Yoruba Nation agitator Sunday Igboho Ibrahim David Salami has revealed what the Nigerian government told their Republic of Benin counterpart to justify his arrest.
Salami revealed that the Nigerian government accused Igboho of smuggling weapons into Nigeria.
Speaking to BBC Yoruba, the lawyer said the Nigerian government also accused the freedom fighter of calling for secession and disturbing the country.
According to Salami: “The Nigerian government has declared Igboho to be involved in arms trafficking in Nigeria.
“The second is that he is causing unrest in Nigeria and the third is that he is trying to divide Nigeria into two or three.”
Igboho was arrested Monday evening at an airport in Cotonou, Republic of Benin.
This was after the freedom fighter was declared wanted by the State Services Department, DSS, in Nigeria after he raided his home in Ibadan, Oyo state.
After the invasion, the DSS paraded some of Igboho’s associates arrested in the raid.
The secret police had also paraded weapons and charms recovered during the raid.
Following the search of his residence and his search statement, Igboho fled Nigeria about three weeks ago.
