The Cour De’appal De Cotonou, Benin Republic, has granted Yoruba Nation activist Sunday Adeyemo aka Sunday Igboho access to medical care, after a marathon court session on Monday.
The Punch reports that the court session ended at well over 11 pm, Nigerian Time.
The arguments during the protracted sessions, according to PM News, centred around whether to release him or continue to detain him. The court decided to continue to detain him while allowing him access to his doctors.
It was also gathered that at least six lawyers represented the Federal Government of Nigeria in court on Monday. The legal representatives were a combination of local and international lawyers as well as French-speaking and English-speaking lawyers, a competent source told The Punch.
A member of Igboho’s team, Pelumi Olajengbesi, told the newspaper after the court sitting that he was confident that his client would be released.
