Sunday Igboho, a Yoruba activist, is reported to have asked for asylum in the Benin Republic.
Igboho was arrested on July 19 as he and his wife, Ropo, were prepared to travel to Germany. He was charged and appeared in court after attempting to fly with a forged Beninoise passport.
He has applied to be a political refugee in Benin Republic, according to a source close to the agitator.
“He (Igboho) was already at the airport with a passport. The immigration officers suspected his passport to be fake and so they stopped him. A passport was allegedly forged for Igboho in the Benin Republic for the purpose of the Germany trip.
At the airport, they discovered he was the one. Igboho has already applied for asylum in Germany and he hopes to file a similar application in Benin Republic in the coming days,” the source told Punch.
