The detained 12 aides of the popular Yoruba Nation agitator, Sunday Adeyemo, also known as Sunday Igboho who were granted bail by an Abuja High Court are still in detention over failure to meet the bail requirements, including the heavy bonds slammed on them.

Appealing in a statement, Koiki urged all Yoruba sons and daughters to assist in raising the money before the close of work on Monday, August 9.
He further assured that the funds will be utilised for the purpose it was collected.
This was contained in a statement titled, “Emergency bail contributions for 12 Yoruba agitators in Abuja.”
