After being held under house arrest and released from custody in the Benin Republic after approximately two years, embattled Yoruba nation campaigner Sunday Igboho is once again free.
According to Anaedoonline.ng, the Yoruba nation agitator was released on Sunday and has since travelled to Germany to visit his family.
Prof. Banji Akintoye, the group’s leader representing the Yoruba nation, verified the situation.
Igboho stated that he is free to return to Nigeria or travel to any other nation of his choice because he has complied with all legal requirements for his bail in an interview with the Nigerian Tribune.

“I am now free to return to Nigeria and visit any country in the world. I have fulfilled all the legal conditions attached to my bail few years back and I am coming home to Nigeria, my country of origin, any moment from now.
“I can confirm to you that I am now free to come back to Nigeria. There is no legal encumbrance again. Even though I have been living in Cotonou for some time, I can confirm to you categorically that I have now secured the liberty to leave Cotonou for Nigeria.”
In a video released on Facebook, Igboho thanked all those who had supported him during his travail and detention in Benin and specifically pointed out the likes of Professor Banji Akintoye, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, Chief Ayo Adebanjo, Olugbon of Orile Igbon and deputy chairman, Oyo State Council of Obas, Oba Francis Olushola Alao, Kabiesi Oba Topspin o ni Bariga of Bariga, Oba Tejuoso, Oni Kenta of Orile Kenta, Olugbo of Ugbo kingdom, Oba Fredrick Akinruntan Obateru, and other Yoruba monarchs for their support while he stayed in Cotonou.
