The Yoruba Nation activist, Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, has returned to Nigeria two years after his sojourn in Benin Republic while on exile.
He returned to Nigeria for the burial of his mother, who died while he was ifacing trial in Benin Republic.
A statement by Igboho’s spokesman, OlayomiKoiki, confirmed that the Yoruba nation agitator was in the country for his mother’s burial.
Koiki, who disclosed this in a terse statement accompanied by a video via his X handle, yesterday, said: “I can confirm that Chief Sunday Adeyemo, a.k.a. Sunday Igboho, is currently on his way to Igboho Town for the final burial of his mother, Mrs S.A. Adeyemo.
“The body of Mrs S.A. Adeyemo was picked up from the mortuary in Saki Town a few hours ago.”
Also posted by Koiki was a video where Igboho could be seen with some people believed to be at the mortuary.
It would be recalled that Igboho left Nigeria in 2021 when he escaped to Benin Republic after he was declared wanted by the Department of State Services (DSS).
The DSS operatives had invaded Igboho’s home in the Soka area of Ibadan, Oyo State capital, over alleged terrorism allegations and stockpiling of weapons.
Igboho was arrested in Benin Republic while trying to travel to Germany to join his family.
However, in October last year, Igboho revealed that he was legally free to leave Cotonou for Nigeria and other countries.
