10 Minutes With Sunday Igboho Inside Cotonou Police Custody |Wale Ojo Lanre

 



By Wale Ojo Lanre



Just like miracle of the year. Off, the memory skidded into another hemisphere Sitting opposite the Cotonou based Prof of law who is also the head of Sunday Igboho's lawyers in his office in Cotonou, He was telling me the intricacies of the Sunday - Igboho saga He was blunt and real Unlike those who want to be sensational about the Igboho issue to make money, cheap fame and attention Your brother, our brother, has no fake Benionise passport He was not chained in police custody The only abnormally is that he is handcuffed! Also, he has so far not flouted the laws of this country There are alleged allegations from the Nigerian Government of this and that Although he scrambled to Cotonou via the footpath on a bike But remember he is an ECOWAS citizen with rights to ECOWAS protocols Not so much interested in all these tales I asked him if I can visit Sunday Igboho in the police custody ' oh yes. I will talk to an officer in there ' He made a call and the man on the other side asked me to come Igboho lawyer asked a black lady who God blessed with a figure 8 to take me there since I was an inquisitive soul.


As I arrived at the station, just a kilometre from the Lawyer's office, all the police officers stood up and did a salute for me, Cava! They all chorused back Cava tres bien I was ushered into the office of the head of the police ' Great Ambassador of Tourism, we have been expecting you. Your brother is here ' He led me into a private cell where I saw Ighoho Osa. Truly he was not manacled But only having a silver chain around his two arms which prevented him from having a handshake with me " Egbon Wale, e wami wa" " Been of " Ema Ku opo ilu ' I brought a message from The Ooni Adimula of the source, Alaafin of Oyo, Olusi of Usi, Oba Alakola of Akola Ijesa, AreOna kakanfo and all Yoruba home and abroad ' " Bawo le se debi ' " lese passer ni mogba' " Bawo ni ounje' "E as ma dupe lower gbogbo oba ile Yoruba, awon otokulu ati loya. Now entry gidi ' ' Hope you are not maltreated as reported ' ' Not at all As I engaged him in what seems to be some confidential issues Someone tapped me from behind ' Me man it is 6:30 am. Are you not going to Asaba again" What? It was Moyo, my wife How come she was in Cotonou? How did she find her way into the Police custody to the extent of disturbing my discussion with Igboho Osa? Furious! She smiled, Omo eye Oluru, you were arrested by sleep while watching the BBC interview of the lawyer of Sunday Igboho. You even called me to join you in viewing the video but before I could finish with what I was doing and join you in bed, sleep has taken over. I had to remove the phone from your hand So I have been dreaming? Lord save our country from marauders .
