FG may consider political solution, bring Sunday Igboho back – Malami

Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami has said that the Federal Government might explore Political options to bring back Yoruba Nation Agitator, Sunday Igboho.

Igboho is locked up in Benin Republic after he was arrested in Cotonou last year alongside his wife while traveling to Benin Republic.

Malami in an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today, yesterday hinted that the Federal Government will allow the law to take its natural course in Igboho’s trial in Benin Republic and after his prosecution, try to bring him back.

According to Malami: “We will allow the law of the nation that was indeed breached to take its natural course and perhaps, maybe thereafter bring him back home after the conclusion of the trial over there for the purpose of facing the Nigerian law that was accordingly breached.

“The position of things is that we are not interfering in aborting the existing prosecution in the foreign land, taking into consideration that the laws that were alleged to have been breached were indeed the laws of a foreign nation.”

“Maybe those considerations may be considered or brought to bear when he is eventually brought back after the conclusion of the trial at the foreign nation.

“In terms of prosecution, you cannot rule out any possibility. In our laws, there are a lot of possibilities.”
