Africa-Press<\/a> – Nigeria<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Benin Republic has filed fresh charges against Yoruba Nation agitator, Sunday Adeyemo aka Sunday Igboho.<\/p>\n

Igboho was arrested at the Cotonou Airport in the country last Monday.<\/p>\n

Ibrahim Salami, one of the lawyers representing Igboho, confirmed the new charges after Monday\u2019s hearing, after which Igboho was ordered to remain in custody.<\/p>\n

Before the hearing, Salami had said they were expecting extradition charges from the Nigerian government against the activist.<\/p>\n

However, he has now disclosed Igboho is facing fresh charges.<\/p>\n

These charges include illegal migration, dubious connivance with immigration officers and an attempt to cause civil unrest.<\/p>\n

Salami had expected that Igboho would be freed on Monday, as the Federal Government of Nigeria had yet to file formal extradition charges against Igboho.<\/p>\n

He explained that the previous allegations that warranted placing Igboho on a watchlist had successfully been tackled during the hearing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
