Counsel for the detained activist, Chief Yomi Aliyyu, made this known on Thursday.
He explained that Igboho is negotiating to be moved to another detention facility over his health status.
Aliyu however, debunked rumors that the activist had fled to Germany.

In a statement titled, ‘Re: Purported release of Sunday Igboho’,  the lawyer said, “Kindly discountenance any news about the release of Chief Sunday Adeyemo or that he is on his way to Germany. It is not true, please.

“With the assistance of a worldwide renowned professor and prof Akintoye and lawyers (Falola and myself), we are negotiating for something more comfortable for him than prison to meet his health demand.
“I advise you to remain calm and prayerful.”
Aliyyu earlier announced that previous negotiations to get Igboho freed didn’t yield the desired result.
Instead, he said Benin Republic renewed his incarceration despite that there was no criminal charge against him and no extradition request from the Nigerian Government.
