Sunday Igboho has not been released — Counsel
Contrary to wide reports that Yoruba nation activist, Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, his counsel, Mr Yomi Alliyu said he’s not released.
According to Aliyu; “Igboho has not been released, he was only released to be taken to the hospital. The last time we spoke, I told you that we are making arrangements to take care of his health.
“So, he was released based on health grounds.”
He also noted that Igboho was released from “prison to his medical practitioners under the agreement that he should not leave the medical centre or Cotonou for any reason.
“Praises should be given to two prominent Yoruba personalities to wit: Prof. Wole Soyinka and Prof. Akintoye for this turn around in our client’s matter,” he said.

Akintoye, in a statement by the Communications Secretary to Ilana Omo Oodua Worldwide, Mr Maxwell Adeleye, described the release of Ighoho as a “triumph of truth over darkness in Yoruba Land.”
