Yoruba nation activist, Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Igboho, has charged President Bola Tinubu to order the release of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB.
Igboho also urged the Tinubu-led Federal Government to drop the treasonable charges preferred against Kanu.
The Matrix reports that Igboho himself only recently returned to Nigeria after three years in the Benin Republic. Igboho fled the country on July 1, 2021 when operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) stormed his Ibadan residence and killed two of his aides.
He took refuge in the Benin Republic, where he was detained but later released.

However, in a video released on Monday, Igboho said releasing Kanu will allow him to attend to his failing health.
The self-determination activist stressed that the IPOB leader is an agitator fighting for the Southeast like himself who is agitating for the interest of the Southwest.
Igboho said: “Please release Nnamdi Kanu, stop politics. This guy did not do anything. Today is February 26, 2024.
“Release him, let him go and stay with his family. This guy is just fighting for his people in the South East like me that I am fighting for my people in Yorubaland, release him, let him go. Release Kanu. Please release him.”
