Obasanjo Meets Benin Republic President Over Sunday Igboho’s Trial
Former President of Nigeria, Olusegun Obasanjo, reportedly travelled to Benin Republic in the first week of August in an attempt at mediating in the ongoing trial of Yoruba Nation activist, Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho.
According to the report, the former president travelled to Zanzibar, an island in Tanzania on August 1 and rerouted to the Francophone country on the guise of condoling with Nicephore Soglo who recently lost his wifez Roseline Soglo who died on July 25 at the age of 87 in Cotonou.
Obasanjo also met with Patrice Talon to seek soft-landing for Sunday Igboho, asking the Beninese authorities to grant the separatist leader asylum, and not to return him to Nigeria.
It could be recalled that the OSUNREPORTERS NEWS had earlier reported that Igboho was awaiting his fate at the Cour De’Appel De Cotonou, Benin Republic, following his arraignment by the authorities of the country.
