Shehu Sani, a former Kaduna Central Senator has reacted to reports that the Beninese government has extended Yoruba Nation freedom fighter, Sunday Igboho’s detention by six months.
According to him, Igboho’s detention is inhuman and condemnable.
The former senator reacted via a tweet while distancing himself from Igboho’s separatist activities.
He tweeted “I don’t support Igboho’s separatist ideas and activities in any way, but the reported extension of his detention by six months is inhuman and condemnable,”.
According to reports, Yomi Aliyyu who is Igboho’s counsel disclosed that the freedom fighter’s detention was extended by six months without any criminal charges brought against him.
Recall that Igboho was arrested on July 19, 2021, in Cotonou, while on his way to Germany.
This was after he fled Nigeria to Cotonou in Benin Republic.
