Igboho’s continued detention, miscarriage of Justice –Gani Adams

Aareonakakanfo of Yorubaland, Gani Adams has described the continued detention of Yoruba Nation Agitator, Sunday Igboho as “Miscarriage of Justice”. He lamented that the right of the activist was been abused as he has not been convicted of any crime.

Yomi Aliyyu, a lawyer for the arrested campaigner, claimed the francophone West African nation has extended Igboho’s detention by six months.

Reacting to this in a statement signed by his Special Assistant on Media, Kehinde Aderemi, Gani Adams stated that Benin Republic has taken Igboho’s case far beyond the normal legal procedures.

“There was miscarriage of justice in the way Igboho’s detention was extended without trial. It is evident that Benin Republic has taken Igboho’s case far beyond the normal legal procedures.

“The extension of the detention of Igboho further exposed the frailty in the administration of justice. The young man’s rights have been abused without trial. He had not been convicted of any offence. The law of any country that claims to be guided by the rule of law should be explicit on the rights of citizens, he said
