Yoruba Nation agitator, Sunday Igboho, has been reported really sick and diagnosed with possible kidney or lungs illness.

One of his lawyers, Yomi Aliyyu, disclosed this in an interview with BBC Yoruba. He stressed that his client did not have the illness but only developed it in Benin Republic prison custody.

Yomi went on to say that Igboho was so ill that he has been rushed to the hospital for treatment.

Recall that Igboho has been in a detention facility in Benin Republic, after his arrest on July 16, 2021.
His lawyer cried out about his need for urgent medical attention as the ailment only came about in prison.

He said, “Igboho was not diagnosed with this sickness before he was arrested in Cotonou. It was so critical that they had to rush him to the hospital.

“I can’t tell if he has been returned to the prison from the hospital but what I know is, he’s battling ill health and it seems his kidney and lungs are already being affected.

“Even though I cannot tell which part of his body the sickness has really affected, I know it has to do with his internal organs.”

Some sources in the umbrella body of Yoruba self-determination groups, Ilana Omo Oodua, also confirmed the development.

“Yes, he is ill and his kidney appears affected. We are not very sure yet. Another test result is expected for confirmation. We are working on that and I can assure you that he is in safe hands,” one of the sources said.

The spokesperson for Ilana Oodua, Maxwell Adeleye, said, “Expect our reaction soon. But the government should be warned that nothing must happen to Igboho.”
