In a statement issued by the Communications Secretary to Ilana Omo Oodua Worldwide, Mr. Maxwell Adeleye, Akintoye described Igboho’s release as a “Triumph of Truth over Darkness in Yoruba Land”.
Details of Igboho’s movement are still sketchy and it remains unclear if the activist, who has been incarcerated since July 2021, will be returning to Nigeria.
It would be recalled that Igboho was arrested in the Benin Republic on his way to Germany alongside his wife who was released shortly after.
They left Nigeria after operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) raided their Ibadan residence on July 1, 2021.
