Relocate to the Benin Republic for Igboho’s trial – Ex-president aide begs Wole Olanipekun, Afe Babalola, Falana, others

Omokri, in a post on his Facebook page, urged Afe Babalola, Wole Olanipekun, Femi Falana, Eyitayo Jegede and other Senior Advocates of Nigeria of Yoruba origin to defence his son in the Benin Republic.

Ex-Presidential’s aide accused President Muhammadu Buhari of nepotism.

The post reads, “Femi Falana, Afe Babalola, Eyitayo Jegede, Wole Olanipekun, and other Senior Advocates of Nigeria of Yoruba origin should consider relocating to Benin Republic to strengthen the legal defence team of Sunday Igboho and prevent his repatriation to Nigeria by the Buhari administration.

“Two years ago, the Buhari government sent a jet to the Niger Republic to fly so called ‘repentant’ Boko Haram members and their wives back into Nigeria. Please Google it. A government that does that to terrorists has no moral authority to extradite a freedom fighter.

“This is not the time to just write and talk. We must commit our money, talents and influence towards helping this man that stood for us when nobody, including Buhari, stood up to help us when killer herdsmen were wreaking havoc on Nigerians.”
