A list has been made of eminent Yoruba personalities assembled by the Ooni of Ife, Oba Enitan Ogunwusi, on Thursday to look into the case of Sunday Igboho following his arrest in Benin Republic.

The 28-member think tank committee comprises prominent individuals from the South-West.

They will monitor Igboho’s arraignment in Benin Republic, the moves to extradite him to Nigeria and likely prosecution.

This comes as the Ooni plans the next move to help the agitator.

The team is expected to provide updates to the Ooni as events unfold, offer counsels, mediate with the Yoruba Nation agitator’s legal team and interface with Nigerian and Beninese authorities.
