JUST IN: Sunday Igboho Set to Return Home After Years in Exile
Ibadan, Nigeria — January 25, 2026
Prominent Yoruba nation agitator, Chief Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, is reportedly set to return to Nigeria after spending several years in exile.
According to multiple reports, Igboho’s anticipated return follows ongoing diplomatic and legal engagements that have eased restrictions surrounding his stay abroad. Sources close to the activist suggest that arrangements for his homecoming are at an advanced stage, although an official date has not yet been publicly confirmed.
Sunday Igboho fled Nigeria in 2021 amid a crackdown on separatist movements, following a raid on his Ibadan residence by security operatives. He was later arrested in the Benin Republic while attempting to travel to Germany, a development that sparked widespread reactions both locally and internationally. After prolonged legal battles, he was released and subsequently remained outside Nigeria.
His planned return is already generating strong reactions across the South-West, with supporters describing it as a major political and cultural moment, while critics urge caution and call for adherence to the rule of law.
As of press time, Nigerian authorities have not issued an official statement regarding Igboho’s return or any conditions attached to it.
