Benin Republic files new charges against Sunday Igboho

The Benin Republic has filed new charges against embattled Yoruba Nation agitator, Sunday Igboho, whose real name is Sunday Adeyemo.

Ibrahim Salami, one of the Benin Republic-based lawyers of Sunday Igboho, confirmed this on Tuesday, while stating that the new charges were filed after previous allegations that warranted placing Igboho on a watchlist were successfully being tackled during the hearing.

He noted that Igboho was faced with fresh charges when he appeared in court on Monday and was further remanded to allow police to conduct a thorough investigation into the charges.

Salami listed the fresh charges as illegal migration, dubious connivance with immigration officers and an attempt to cause civil unrest.

Salami, however, also confirmed that the Federal Government had yet to file formal extradition charges against the Yoruba nation agitator and noted that the Nigerian government could not also prove the allegations of arms trafficking, and inciting violence that could result in social disturbance and causing disunity.
