Why We Can’t Intervene In Sunday Igboho’s Trial – ECOWAS Court
The ECOWAS Community Court of Justice on Friday said it had not received any matter relating to the self-acclaimed Yoruba nation agitator, Sunday Adeyemo popularly known as Sunday Igboho, who is facing trial in the Republic of Benin. DAILY TRUST reports.
