For those who think nothing is being done to free Chief Sunday Adeyemo popularly known as Igboho from detention, the Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu on Saturday said leaders of the South West are working behind the scenes to ensure his release.
The Yoruba Nation agitator was on Monday arrested in Cotonou, Benin Republic while trying to escape from President Muhammadu Buhari lead administration to Germany.
He is currently facing trial in Benin Court over extradition to Nigeria.
When asked what the southwest governors and leaders were doing to ensure the release of Igboho, Sanwo-Olu, replied that he was aware prominent people of the region were working behind the scenes for his release.
He said the governors would not be able to come to the public to announce what they are doing on Igboho’s matter.
In response, the governor explained that “people” are working behind the scenes, stating that the case doesn’t have to be a public conversation.
“These are very difficult times for all of us. I can assure you that people are working behind the scenes.
“At occasions like this, it’s not by how many Press people you call.”
