YORUBA Nation agitator, Sunday Adeyemo, aka Sunday Igboho, has returned to Nigeria about three years after fleeing the country for the Republic of Benin.

According to media reports, his media spokesperson, Olayomi Koiki, in a statement on Thursday, said Igboho returned to the country for his late mother’s burial.

“I can confirm that Chief Sunday Adeyemo, aka 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, some few hours ago,” he wrote.8739

Also posted by Koiki is a video where Igboho could be seen with some people believed to be at the mortuary.

Igboho regained freedom from Benin Republic prison after a two-year trial by the Beninese Government. 

The Yoruba activist was arrested, along with his wife, on July 20, 2021, in Cotonou while he was about to board a flight to Germany, weeks after he was declared wanted by the DSS.
