Infoexpert24 gathered that Obasanjo pleaded with the country’s leadership not to allow Igboho’s extradition to Nigeria. He made the plea when he made a condolence visit to Nicephore Soglo, a former president of Benei republic who recently lost his wife.
The former President, Olusegun Obasanjo had traveled to Tanzania on August 1 and rerouted to Benin, according to TheCable.
“He’s asking the Beninese authorities to grant the separatist leader asylum, and not to return him to Nigeria,” a source in the Benin diplomatic circle was quoted to have said. “The former president intervened at the request of some southwest leaders.”
Infoexpert24 earlier reported that Igboho entered hot water while trying to escape to Germany with his wife through Benin Republic.
Igboho has been on the run since the Department of State Security Services, DSS raided his Soka residence in Ibadan, Oyo state. Several arms, ammunition, charms, and fake passports were recovered during the raid. He is a wanted man in Nigeria.
