After Thursday’s hearing, Ìgbòho’s lawyer, explained that “this is not the best time to say anything on the case”. He however expressed optimism that things would turn out for good.

 Recall that the DSS on February 26, 2021, had attempted to arrest Igboho along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway when the activist and his supporters were on their way to meet with the 93-year-old Afenifere chieftain, Ayo Adebanjo, but pandemonium broke out and the DSS was unable to arrest him.
