The asylum request made by Sunday Igboho, Yoruba nation agitator, will be decided this week by authorities of Benin Republic.
His lawyers said they delayed application for his bail pending the outcome of the asylum request, noting that they are desperate to ensure that he is not sent back to Nigeria.
Olasupo Ojo, one of the lawyers, said though there had not been an official statement from Benin Republic government on the asylum request, there is hope that a position will be made known this week.
Recall that Igboho and his wife were arrested at Cadjèhoun Airport in Cotonou on their way to Germany.
