Leader of Yoruba self-determination group, Ilana Omo Oodua, Prof. Banji Akintoye, has denied the involvement of the Presidency in the recent release of Yoruba Nation agitator, Sunday Adeyemo, aka Sunday Igboho, from protective custody in Benin Republic.

Apparently reacting to a viral video of an unidentified Igbo militant leader who reportedly claimed that Tinubu should ensure the release of the leader of proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, just as he (Tinubu) facilitated Igboho’s freedom, Akintoye said “President Tinubu had no hands in Sunday Igboho’s freedom.”

Igboho, who was released by the government of Benin Republic under the leadership of President Patrice Talon, last Sunday, had acknowledged the support and solidarity of some notable Yoruba leaders during his travails in Cotonou, which lasted over two years.

Akintoye said it was imperative to correct the wrong impression in some quarters that President Tinubu facilitated the freedom of Igboho.

“Although, we will not fault our Igbo brothers, nor criticise them for seeking the freedom for the IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu, in any way, we must set the record straight. The Nigerian authorities and administration under the presidency of Bola Ahmed Tinubu had no hands in the release and freedom of our frontliner, Chief Sunday Adeyemo, a.k.a Igboho.

“We give the credit to the Almighty God, then the efforts of our leadership in this Yoruba nation struggle supported by well-meaning friends at home and abroad. This had been a tedious and tasking process, but we give glory to God that granted us success in Sunday’s freedom at last.

“We strongly deny the involvement of any politician or officials of the Nigerian government in all these processes, for simply there was none. Our appreciation again goes to the Republic of Benin government for not denying us justice at last, despite some political pressure,” he said.
