Recall that the activist was released by the government of the Republic of Benin. Maxwell Adeleye, a spokesperson for Ilana Omo Oodua Worldwide, made the announcement on Monday, March 7.

Speaking further, Igboho who spoke in Yoruba debunked various reports that he was down with health-related issues during his seven months of incarceration in prison.

The activist said he never fell sick as being erroneously published in the media, describing those behind the “fake news” as uninformed.

He said:

“I want to thank everyone, I want everyone to be calm. I won’t betray you all. This is me here. I’m fine, hale and healthy.
“Yoruba struggle will remain, and it will be stronger. Yorubas are suffering and smiling. They are killing, kidnapping and doing all sort in Yorubaland and we are not talking.

Igboho's detention misplacement of justice, Gani Adams fumes

Meanwhile, before his reported release, the Aareonakakanfo of Yorubaland, Iba Gani Abiodun Ige Adams had described the continuous detention of Igboho without trial as misplacement of justice, insisting the Benin court has no respect for human rights.

He, however, applauded the efforts of the activist's counsel, Chief Yomi Aliyyu (SAN), to seek redress from the ECOWAS court.

Iba Adams, in a statement issued on Tuesday, February 8, and sent to Legit.ng by his special assistant on media, Kehinde Aderemi, expressed disappointment at the manner with which the Republic of Benin handled Igboho's case.
