Yoruba Nation agitators said they would resume their protest on Saturday, in the hometown of incarcerated campaigner Sunday Igboho.

However, the rally will be different from others held before.

It will be to show solidarity with Igboho now languishing in a Benin Republic prison after an aborted bid to escape to Germany.

Igboho wanted to escape following the raid of his home in Ibadan by EFCC operatives.

Two persons were killed in the raid on 1 July.

Twelve others were arrested and taken to Abuja. Ten of them have been freed after legal efforts by lawyers.

The EFCC has however charged the remaining two with terrorism, with the only woman arrested charged with ‘Facebook terrorism’.
