I run comot for Nigeria make dem no kill me-Sunday Igboho tell court for Benin Republic

Ibrahim Salami, one of di Cotonou, Benin Republic-based lawyers of Igboho don talk say dey fit drop all di charges against Igboho if dem grant am asylum. He follow talk say dem no arrest Igboho say he dey carry Benin Republic passport as he been get only Nigerian passport and German residency card.

Na like this he talk am:

“When he left Nigeria, he took the backdoor into Benin. It was at the airport that security operatives stopped him that he was on the watchlist. He didn’t go against any law in Benin Republic. They didn’t find any Beninese passport on him. He had a Nigerian passport with a German residency card. He needed no visa at that point.

When we understudied the case, we realised that the Nigerian government had not filed a case for extradition. They only claimed that he is wanted in Nigeria for criminal offences. Our argument is that he was arrested because of Nigeria’s request, and there is no proof to show that he is a criminal. He spent barely 24 hours in the country and filed an asylum.”
