Read Time:42 Second
The government of the Republic of Benin has been directed by a three-member panel of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) court of justice to reimburse Mr. Sunday Adeyemo, also known as Igboho, 20 million CFA for his wrongful imprisonment.
The money was ordered to be paid within three months by the court.
On February 10, Igboho submitted a court application contesting his apprehension and confinement within the French-speaking nation.
The nation was also ordered by the ECOWAS court to abide by its directive and return to the court with proof of payment.
In Cotonou, Benin Republic, Igboho and his spouse, Ropo, were taken into custody at the behest of the Nigerian authorities.
After the Department of State Services raided his home in Ibadan, Oyo State, on July 1, the Yoruba Nation agitator left Nigeria.
