BREAKING: More Troubles For Sunday Igboho As Buratai Meet Benin Republic President [PHOTO]—The Genius Media Nigeria reports that Nigeria’s Ambassador to the Benin Republic, Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai (retd.), has met with the President of Benin Republic, Patrice Talon.
TGM understands that Buratai met with the Beninese President on Tuesday during the official presentation of his letter of credence. Also, the Ambassador of Germany to Benin Republic, Michael Derus; as well as those of Ghana, Gabon, and Norway also presented their letters of credence to Talon.
Buratai’s meeting with the Beninese President occurred amid the planned extradition of wanted Yoruba nation activist, Sunday Adeyemo, also known as Sunday Igboho, who was arrested in Cotonou on July 19, 2021 while he tried to catch a flight to Germany.
A member of Igboho’s legal team, Pelumi Olajengbesi, had said Buratai asked for the extradition of Igboho to the office of the Department of State Services in Nigeria but Benin Republic dissapointed him.

Buratai, Nigeria’s Chief of Army Staff between July 2015 and January 2021, was deployed as Nigeria’s envoy in the Benin Republic in June 2021.
Before then, the Nigerian President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), had presented Buratai’s nomination to the Senate and the upper chamber of the National Assembly had confirmed the ex-COAS’ nomination despite public outcry of some crimes against humanity allegedly committed by the Nigerian Army under Buratai’s leadership.
As it is known that Sunday Igboho was arrested some days ago in Benin Republic for criminal association while on his way to Germany. Apart from his offence in Benin, He is also one of the most sought after offenders by the Nigerian government for his efforts in wanting to actualize Yoruba Nation.
For some days, Nigerian government have been trying to extradite him from Benin republic as he was declared wanted some weeks ago.
With this new development, Sunday Igboho might be in a more serious trouble which may allow the extradition to be a seamless process for the Nigerian government
