FrontPage reports that Sunday Igboho was released on Sunday from protective custody in the Republic of Benin.
The information was made available by a reliable source who quoted Yoruba Nation leader, Prof. Banji Akintoye.
The source said he was already on his way to Germany, his destination before he was arrested.
Recall that Igboho fled Nigeria in 2021 when operatives of the Department of State Service, DSS, stormed his residence in Ibadan, in bid to arrest him.
Addressing a press conference on the matter, the spokesman of the DSS, Peter Afunanya, on Thursday, July 1, 2021, said 13 suspects, including a female and 12 males, were arrested during the raid.
He was heading towards Germany through Benin Republic when he was arrested and put in protective custody.
