A three Member Panel of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) court of justice has ordered the Government of the Republic of Benin to pay Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as “Sunday Igboho”, the sum of twenty million West African Francs for unlawful detention.
The court ordered that the money should be paid within three months as it would be recalled that Igboho had on February 10, filed an application before the court challenging his arrest and detention in the French-speaking country.
The ECOWAS court also directed the country to comply with its order and revert to the court with evidence of payment.
Igboho was arrested alongside his wife, Ropo, in Cotonou, Benin Republic, and detained at the request of the Nigerian government.
