UPDATED: Tension over delay in Sunday Igboho’s trial as the case may be adjourned to Thursday

Tension is building up in the premises of the Court of Appeals in Cotonou among hundreds of supporters of Yoruba Nation agitator, Sunday Igboho over delay in his trial.

As early as 7 am, many supporters from Nigeria, as well as those in the Benin Republic, besieged the court to identify with the Yoruba nation activist.

But the trial has not started as at 2.54 pm despite the fact that Igboho has been kept in one of the prosecutors’ rooms since the early hours of Monday.

While some of his supporters are optimistic he will be freed, some of them are exhibiting unruly tendencies.

Frustrated by the delay, some of Igboho’s supporters are venting anger on anyone who takes pictures or records videos of events in the court premises, including journalists.

Newsflash Nigeria gathered that Sunday Igboho’s trial may be adjourned to Thursday, a source close to his legal team said.

After meeting with the embattled Yoruba nation activist in the special room where he is being kept since morning, the source said everything suggests the trial may not be concluded today as many have anticipated.

He however did not give reasons that may necessitate a second adjournment since the trial began last week.

Details shortly…
