IGBOHO HAS NOT COMMITTED ANY CRIME

SOYINKA TO GOVERNMENT OF BENIN REPUBLIC 28/8/2021

“This is an appeal to the government of the Republic of Benin. Why are you keeping the victim in your prison?

What crime did he commit against your state that you are holding him in prison, instead of letting him continue his journey?

Igboho has not committed any crime against any known law in this nation. Thus, to ask for his repatriation is adding insult to injury.

You invaded his house, destroyed his property, chased him into the wilderness and you are pursuing him.

We ask the government of the Republic of Benin to release the man to continue his business which was interrupted unjustly.

Please, rectify this error and don’t compound any further by holding Sunday Igboho in prison one day long.”—Nobel laureate, Prof Wole Soyinka, has appealed to the government of the Republic of Benin to free Yoruba Nation agitator, Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, currently in prison custody in the West African country.

Speaking with journalists in Lagos on Friday during an interactive session titled, “Sanctions on the loose: Chasing the gnat with a sledgehammer,” the elder statesman said the secessionist committed no known crime against Nigeria.
