What Dele Momodu Told Me While I Was In Detention ― Igboho

The Embattled Yoruba Nation agitator, Sunday Igboho who was recently released from detention in Cotonou, Benin Republic has disclosed that a Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, presidential aspirant, Dele Momodu, visited him while he was in detention.

Igboho expressed surprise that Momodu could visit him while he was detained.

The freedom fighter, who was recently released by the Benin Republic government, said the presidential aspirant risked everything to visit him while he was detained.

“I was very surprised that Chief Momodu could do this when many big people were even afraid to speak up for me.

“He prayed for me and told me to be calm and await God’s intervention.

“He said all he wants is peace and that he will reach out to every part of Nigeria,” he said in his first video released.

The Beninese government had released Igboho a few days ago on health grounds.

Igboho was arrested last year in Cotonou while travelling to Germany.

He had fled Nigeria to Cotonou after the Department of State Services, DSS, attempted to arrest him in Ibadan, Oyo State.

The activist, who is fondly called Sunday Ighoho, was released to the leader of the umbrella body of Yoruba Self-determination Groups, Ilana Omo Oodua Worldwide, Professor Banji Akintoye, and his deputy, a French Language Expert and Chieftain of Ilana Omo Oodua Worldwide, Professor Wale Adeniran.

In a statement issued by the Communications Secretary to Ilana Omo Oodua Worldwide, Mr. Maxwell Adeleye, Akintoye described Igboho’s release as a “Triumph of Truth over Darkness in Yoruba Land.”

Igboho was arrested in the Benin Republic on his way to Germany alongside his wife who was released shortly after. They left Nigeria after operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) raided their Ibadan residence on July 1, 2021.
