Dapo Salami, one of the aides of Yoruba Nation promoter, Sunday Adeyemo aka Sunday Igboho, has dismissed report on his release by the Beninese authorities.
The Yoruba Nation Global Directorate had in a statement signed by its Director, Princess Adeola Atayero Olamijulo, and Coordinator for Information, Otunba Demola Edwards; claimed that the activist had been freed by the Benin Republic government and currently on his way to Germany.
Salami, who reacted to the report on Tuesday night, told journalists that any report on Igboho’s release was false and misleading.
He urged Nigerians to disregard the report.
“Chief Igboho is still being detained. Please disregard any information that says he has been released. But I believe notable Yoruba leaders should have been working on ways to secure his release without any delay.”
The self-professed Yoruba freedom fighter was arrested by Interpol at an airport in Cotonou while traveling to Germany with his wife.
