Dapo Abiodun Supports Sunday Igboho's Return for Burial

Human rights lawyer Pelumi Olajengbesi revealed that Ogun State Governor Dapo Abiodun agreed to vouch for activist Sunday Igboho's conduct, enabling Igboho to return home for his mother's burial. Olajengbesi shared this information in a Facebook post after visiting Igboho, whom he referred to as his elder brother and former client.

Following the death of Igboho's mother in 2023, he expressed a strong desire to return home for the burial. Olajengbesi appealed to Governor Abiodun for assistance, who inquired whether the then National Security Adviser had been contacted and suggested that President Bola Tinubu would support lawful activities.

Abiodun ultimately agreed to guarantee Igboho's conduct during a seven-day grace period for the burial. After performing the burial rites, Igboho left Nigeria for the Benin Republic.

Olajengbesi later thanked Abiodun for facilitating Igboho's peaceful return, highlighting their discussions on politics and leadership during his visit.
