Yoruba Nation agitator, Sunday Igboho has disclosed that a Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, presidential aspirant, Dele Momodu, visited him in detention.

Igboho expressed surprise that Momodu could visit him while he was detained in Cotonou, Benin Republic.

The freedom fighter, who was recently released by the Benin Republic government, said the presidential aspirant risked everything to visit him while he was detained.

“I was very surprised that Chief Momodu could do this when many big people were even afraid to speak up for me.

“He prayed for me and told me to be calm and await God’s intervention.

He said all he wants is peace and that he will reach out to every part of Nigeria,” he said in his first video released.

The Beninese government had released Igboho a few days ago on health grounds.

Igboho was arrested last year in Cotonou while travelling to Germany.

He had fled Nigeria to Cotonou after the Department of State Services, DSS, attempted to arrest him in Ibadan, Oyo State.
