THE Government of Benin Republic has raised fresh charges against Yoruba nation agitator, Sunday Adeyemo.

One of Adeyemo’s lawyers, Ibrahim Salami, told BBC Yoruba that the legal team was expecting extradition charges from the Federal Government of Nigeria against him.

Salami said Adeyemo, popularly called Sunday Igboho, was further remanded to allow the Police to conduct a thorough investigation into the charges.

The charges, according to him, include illegal migration, dubious connivance with immigration officers and attempt to cause civil unrest.

“First, the judge wanted to know how Sunday Igboho entered into the Benin Republic through an illegal means. They also want to investigate how Sunday Igboho conspired with others to enter Benin Republic through wrong means,” the lawyer told BBC.

“They also want to know how long he has been in Benin Republic and his plans in the country. They also raised a charge on whether he wants to come and cause unrest or social disturbance in Benin Republic,” he added.
