The Cour De’appal De Cotonou, Benin Republic, on Monday, granted embattled Yoruba Nation agitator Sunday Adeyemo aka Sunday Igboho access to medical care,Igboho’s lawyers battled to secure bail for the activist but the court only granted him access to medical care after the marathon sessions which ended around past 11pm .It was learnt that the court proceeding took that long because the system of law in Benin Republic was different from the system of law in Nigeria.

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 toldafter the court sitting, a member of Igboho’s legal team, Pelumi Olajengbesi, expressed confidence that his client would be released.

Was he sick before? He was busy moving from one state to another preaching secessionist rallies, how come he suddenly became sick?

Is it possible for him to take a flight to the same hospital President Buhari is in London? Just want to know what they will discuss while taking drip.

What Nigeria govt can never do. Nigeria needs to learn how to handle issues like this.

What exactly was his crime?

DSS action alone has tarnished the image of the country's system talkless of other unlawful arrests and killings. Sunday Igboho did nothing wrong neither he is a criminal. We hope in God for Chief Sunday Igboho victory.

The President of Benin republic, Patrice Talon, has the judiciary in his pockets. He jails judges. Don’t be deceived, the Judiciary is far from independent in Benin. Benin is a francophone country under French subjugation and control. France doesn’t tolerate African secessionists

Imagine taking me to the 37th state for medical care

Before? 🙄

Buhari stupidly making this a hero.. He would certainly be loved by everybody due to pity.

All of a sudden, medical issues arise. While terrorising Nigeria, he was healthy.

This is where rule of law works not in Nigeria where even a near dead man will be controlling everything Nigerian Government should be ashamed of themselves rubbish

Can u imagine a country that is not up to Lagos and Oyo states in population being governed with rule of law and fear of God. Dis has proven dat Buhari was and still a mistake. He didn't come to rule but avenge his lost elections in d past, he once wept and wants us to cry also!

Oh, a small country with the rule of law.

It's the audacity for me. Why is Benin Republic holding him?

I wonder why they all fall sick

Benin lawyers dey try ooo since yesterday morning na night dem commot for court

Republic of Benin is teaching the Nigeria govt the rule of Law

When there is law in the land , there will be development ,even if there is no natural resources like that of Benin republic. No matter the amount of natural resources,without laws there won’t be development, Nigeria is such an example. Sad. 3 court hearings in just one week..

Thanks Beninois for attending to his medical needs. He's going to need it and more because all these are strange and never envisaged with the lifestyle that he was living before all these development.

Lawful country. Naija go learn from your younger one

Receive medical care where? Nigeria, Germany or Benin Republic?

No be small matter
