The President of Agbekoya Worldwide, Kamorudeen Okiki, has threatened to launch a prison break using traditional means to free the detained Yoruba Nation agitator, Sunday Adeyemo, otherwise known as Sunday Igboho if authorities in Benin Republic fail to release him.
The group’s threat is coming seven months after the fugitive was apprehended by security forces in Cotonou while trying to flee Nigeria to Germany.
Okiki who gave the stern warning in Osogbo on Thursday during a peaceful rally held by the group vowed that they would carry out the act through the use of traditional powers.
This is just as the group demanded a total overhaul and restructuring of the country over what it termed high rate of corruption in government business and insecurity.
The PUNCH reported that Okiki subsequently delivered a letter containing seven-point demand of the group to Ataoja of Osogbo, Oba Jimoh Olanipekun, in his palace following a successful rally on major streets in the state capital.
He said, “Sunday Igboho is not a criminal. We will continue to say that. We know that it is the Federal Government that is holding Igboho in Benin Republic, but we are telling Benin Republic authorities now to legally release him using their court.
“They should release him legally and quickly because they are not taking him to court again, or we will use our traditional means and powers to take Igboho out of detention.
“We are Agbekoya, if they don’t release Sunday Igboho legally, we are going to take him out of Benin Republic. They will just see that Sunday Igboho is out of their prison.”
