According to him, his client will not return to Nigeria anytime soon, alleging that his life is being threatened due to the circumstances surrounding the invasion of his premises by the Department of State Services (DSS) last month where weapons were recovered.
“The case will make revelations as to which government is powerful in Africa, our government may not be wealthy, and not much in population as compared to Nigeria but there is a signed treaty that must be respected.
“Igboho cannot be left to return back to Nigeria for now because of the destruction of his properties that was witnessed, they are not looking for Sunday Igboho alone but planning to kill him.
“They are looking for how to kill him and that’s very dangerous to allow him return to Nigeria. So he is being kept safe in custody,” he told The Nation.
