sunday igboho
Embattled Yoruba Nation agitator, Chief Sunday Adeyemo, more popularly known as Sunday Igboho is fed up with his Beninese lawyers, lambasting them calling them quack lawyers who couldn’t prevent his detention despite how many of them that were representing him in court along with all of the money he had paid them. Sunday Igboho  The Yoruba Nation freedom fighter, who has been in detention in the neighbouring Benin Republic for nearly 9-weeks now, revealed during a phone call that one of the lawyers representing him, by the name Ibrahim David Salami, doesn’t hold him in high prestige. He alleged that the lawyer was the prison where he was kept to see him, but would rather keep him waiting and speak with someone else.

Recounting the issue between him and Salami to one of his supporters on phone, Igboho explained how he walked out on Salami when he came to see him inside the Benin Republic prison.

Sunday Igboho said: “Lawyer Salami came to the prison to see me, but he kept me waiting, attending to some other people for more than 15 minutes. I called on him, ‘Lawyer, I’m waiting, I’m hungry. I want to go and eat’.

“But he replied me saying, ‘will you be going then’ and I walked away. I don’t lie. He was here to see me, not someone else. He should have told those ones that he wanted to see his client. I am not a kid. I will be 50 in October.”

While the caller tried to persuade Sunday Igboho to make peace with his lawyers because freedom is better than being in captivity, he retorted: “If lawyers don’t want to represent me in court anymore, no problem. It is God who knows how I got here. He will set me free. Are those lawyers God?

“Lawyers that could not tell the judge not to take me to prison, despite how many they were. They were up to 10. In their presence, the judge ordered my detention in prison. Are those ones lawyers?

“Those who could not remove handcuffs from my hands until Falola came to do so. Are they lawyers? And they collected huge amounts of money. Five million, four million, three million (Naira), that was how they were paid; yet they couldn’t remove handcuffs from my hands. I don’t fear any lawyer or anybody. Anything they want to do to me, I’m ready.
“I don’t need any information from Salami. Anything they want to do, they should go ahead. If he is on phone, he should hear me. I don’t need any information from anyone. I need information from God.

“I told my wife the last time she came here that I don’t need any information from anyone. The information that nobody has been able to get to secure my release from here, God should give me.”
