Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Shehu Sani, a former federal lawmaker, on Wednesday urged the Nigerian Senate to extend their support to Yoruba Nation campaigner, Sunday Adeyemo, also known as Sunday Igboho.<\/p>\n

Sani said this while reacting to the Senate\u2019s decision to send a high-powered delegation to meet with Senator Ike Ekweremadu in London, United Kingdom (UK).<\/p>\n

DAILY POST recalls that Ekweremadu, who is the former Deputy Senate President, was detained alongside his wife over alleged \u201corgan harvesting\u201d in the UK.<\/p>\n

The Senate\u2019s decision was made after they met behind closed doors for two hours on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The Senate President, Dr. Ahmad Ibrahim Lawan, commended defence lawyers to Ekweremadu and his wife, who he said were working hard to get them out of detention.<\/p>\n

Reacting, Sani, in a tweet via his Twitter handle, insisted that the response of the National Assembly over Ekweremadu\u2019s issue is in the right direction.<\/p>\n

He tweeted: \u201cEkweremadu deserves all the necessary consular support he needs. The response of the NASS is in the right direction. But same should be extended to Sunday Igboho.\u201d<\/p>\n

Recall that Igboho was arrested and detained in Cotonou, Benin Republic, in July 2021.<\/p>\n

The agitator was arrested while attempting to travel to Germany via Cotonou.<\/p>\n

This was after he fled Nigeria, having been declared wanted by the Department of State Services, DSS, for allegedly stockpiling arms in his Ibadan residence.<\/p>\n
