One of the Yoruba Nation activist, Sunday Adeyemo popularly known as Igboho’s lawyers, Olusegun Falola, has disclosed why the agitator was initially chained by the Benin Republic security agents.
Falola disclosed that Igboho was chained to prevent him from disappearing mysteriously.
According to Falola, Beninese security agents were told that Igboho could turn into a cat and escape.
“When I arrived from Paris and got to the custody where Igboho was detained, he was first chained. They were scared that he could just disappear into the thin air because of his mystical powers.
“The police told me that if Igboho’s chains were untied and he escaped mysteriously, he (the police officer) would be stripped of his rank and also dismissed.
“The police officer said he was told that Igboho could disappear or turn into a cat, and many other things were said to the police officers which made them tie him.”
The lawyer, however, disclosed that his timely intervention led to the officers unchaining Igboho.
Benin Republic police arrested Igboho at Cardinal Bernardin International Airport in Cotonou, while trying to fly from the country to Germany.
