Pelumi Olajengbesi, a lawyer, has said the Yoruba nation agitator, Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, will soon regain his freedom.
The secessionist has been in detention in Benin Republic since he was arrested at an airport in Cotonou by the country’s security forces while he was trying to flee to Germany in July 2020.
Writing on his Facebook page on Saturday, Olajengbesi, who had in January announced his resignation from the legal team of Igboho described him as a courageous man.
He wrote: “Chief Sunday Igboho will be out very soon and there will be massive jubilation across the entire Yoruba land
“He is no doubt a courageous man. This is very authoritative, just that our Yoruba leaders should stop being selfish and allow good to prevail.”
