According to one of the lawyers of Sunday Adeyemo, also known as Igboho, who is a Yoruba Nation agitator has described how his client was reportedly chained by Beninese police to keep him from turning into a cat and fleeing after being caught at an airport in the neighboring nation.
When Olusegun Falola arrived at the custody where Igboho was being held, he was first chained.
According to Falola, the police officers were afraid that because of his mystical powers, he may simply vanish into thin air.
“When I traveled from Paris and arrived at the custody where Igboho was being held, he was first chained,” the lawyer explained. They were afraid that, due to his mystical powers, he could simply vanish into thin air. The police told me that if Igboho's chains were unlocked and he somehow escaped, he (the police officer) would lose his rank and be fired. Igboho may vanish or transform into a cat, according to the police officer, and many other things were mentioned to the officers, prompting them to tie him."
He informed The Nation that his prompt action resulted in the police releasing Igboho.
