Afenifere Leader Adebanjo Speaks on Sunday Igboho’s Arrest and Extradition Battle

 

Since news broke of the arrest of Yoruba separatist agitator Chief Sunday Adeyemo also known as Sunday Igboho in the Republic of Benin, reactions have been mixed over his arrest and planned extradition to Nigeria.
