Former President Olusegun Obasanjo was in Benin Republic some days ago over the Sunday Igboho debacle, The Cable reports.

He had travelled to Zanzibar in Tanzania on August 1 and rerouted to the Francophone nation.

Obasanjo was said to have met with Benin’s President Patrice Talon after his condolence visit to Nicephore Soglo on his wife’s demise. Roseline was 87 years old.

Soglo was Beninise President from 1991 to 1996 and was one of the African leaders who intervened when the late General Sani Abacha jailed Obasanjo in 1995.

Igboho is in trouble in Nigeria and the Benin Republic. While the latter is probing the passport he carried, Nigerian authorities accuse him of planning to stage a war against the state.

The July 1 Department of State Services (DSS) operation at his Soka residence, Ibadan, in Oyo State unearthed assault rifles and ammunition. Two of his allies were killed while others face trial.

On several occasions, Igboho boasted that he has the capacity to acquire weapons and face security agencies.

Ten days after he was declared wanted in Nigeria, Igboho and his wife Ropo, were apprehended at the Cadjèhoun Airport in Cotonou.

It seems we have a long way to go in Africa, those in power do things without lay down law and no one to question them except God Almighty. @Obasanjo, thank you sir for negotiating for peace

Part of our problems in Nigeria, is this soft landing deals. When Murtala Mohammed retired the 'Super Perm Secs' and seized assets, Obasanjo returned all the the items as soon as Murtala died. Our corruption never got reduced since then. Igboho is standing trial for immigration violations, and we are talking about 'soft landing'. Even if he is granted reprieve, he becomes 'Stateless' as he'd not be in possession of any passport. The punishment for his crime is deportation, fine or imprisonment.

This is good if there is no ulterior motive behind it.
