UPDATE ON CHIEF SUNDAY ADEYEMO IGHOHO'S CASE IN REPUBLIC OF BENIN

Yesterday, the court set Mrs Adeyemo, gboho's wife free since it has been found that she has committed no offence and there's no complain whatsoever against her. Consequently, her German passport was returned to her.

• The lawyers handling the case reported after the proceedings that Chied Sunday Adeyemo Liboho cannot be extradited to Nigeria for two principal reasons:

1. That contrary to insinuations, Nigeria and Benin have no Extradition Agreement.

2. That Nigeria has not been able to come up with charges that could lead the court to order Cyboho's extradition to Nigeria.

What Nigerian Government came up with were mere allegations against Ighoho such as trafficking in arms and inciting violence that could result in the social disturbance without evidence which the Government of Benin Republic considered spurious and antenable, and insufficient to warrant extradition.

•Lastly, the case has been adjourned till Monday 26th July to allow the Nigerian Government bring up whatever evidence they may have, and Mr. laboho has been taken back to the police custody.
