See reactions from Nigerians on Twitter below:
If you're high priority to government, you will eventually be found, as the arrest of Sunday Igboho proves.
But if you're not, whether you're a top bandit or Boko Haram commander, your freedom is limitless.
Insurgency, banditry thrive 'cos they're not govt's biggest priorities.

I am ready to publicly put my money where my mouth is. I urge Afenifere and Aare Ona Kakanfo Gani Adams, to OPENLY start a fundraiser for Sunday Igboho’s legal defence. Buhari very openly supports killer herdsmen. We should not hide our support for Igboho’s freedom#TableShaker

#FreesundayIgboho: The arrest of Sunday Igboho in Cotonou by the Beninoise authorities was orchestrated by tyrant Muhammadu Buhari. No crime asking for self determination. Let’s all oppressed people UNITE. A govt that pampers bandits and terrorists! #BuhariMustGo #RevolutionNow

Nnamdi Kanu vehemently challenged the Fulani hegemony, he was kidnapped
Sunday Igboho resisted the Fulani terrorists from further killing his people, several attempts were made on his life and he was finally kidnapped
When they're done taking the bold, they'll come for the weak

The arrest of both Nnamdi Kanu and Sunday Igboho while simultaneously pampering Ahmad Gumi and his like DESPITE Northern rebels shooting down an Air Force jet sends a message that people will listen to.
That message will persist even after Buhari leaves.
I pity his successor.

Recently a “bandit” boasted on video that he kills and slaughters Nigerian soldiers.
Two days ago a “bandit” shot down a Nigerian military fighter jet in the air.
NONE OF THESE TERRORISTS arrested. NONE OF THEM. NOT ONE.
But today, the Nigerian Govt has arrested Sunday Igboho.

Like Biafra leader Nnamdi Kanu, Sunday Igboho has been arrested as well. This time, in Cotonou.
Unfortunately for the North, terrorists codenamed BANDITS, who kill, maim, sack villages, hoist flags, shoot down Alpha jets & behead people, have the full support of the Government.

BREAKING: Jobless Buhari regime arrest Sunday Igboho in Cotonou.
But they can’t arrest terrorists who kill people weekly and even shot down our fighter jets.

Yoruba nation agitator Sunday Igboho has just been arrested in Cotonou. Nigeria can deploy massive intelligence to trace, track snd arrest anyone asking for freedom of his people but Boko Haram, Bandits & Killer Herdsmen are dwelling in total peace. It will never make sense.

First the arrest of Nnamdi Kanu.
Executed in Kenya.Now the arrest of Sunday Igboho.
Executed in Cotonou.If the Govt is serious about getting anything done, they will. The only reason terrorism is thriving is because the Govt wants it.
If you don’t know that yet,
Know it now.— #OurFavOnlineDoc 🩺🇳🇬🇬🇧💎 (@DrOlufunmilayo) July 20, 2021
Now that Sunday Igboho has been arrested.
I hope we can finally turn our attention to Sheikh Gumi and his band of brothers with the capacity to shoot down Military aircraft.
Since Yoruba Independence is obviously a bigger threat to Nigeria than actual Terrorism..

Nnamdi Kanu was betrayed by Kenya.
Sunday Igboho was betrayed by Benin Republic.African countries staying a slave to Naij🙄

Nnamdi Kanu and Sunday Igboho were arrested because they constituted a great threat to Fulani Herdsmen domination of the South.
— Henry Shield (@henryshield) July 20, 2021
Arrest of Chief Sunday Igboho is a welcome development. We will now know if the Oduduwa elders are like their Biafra counter part who would love to see their son being executed by Fulani cabal over & over again. Abiola & others were also abandoned the same way. Rise up #Oduduwa!.

In the Fulani North, bandits are Kidnapping school children, raping women, killing people and shooting down Nigeria military fighter jets, but the problem of the North is not these things but @MaziNnamdiKanu and Sunday Igboho.
Do you now understand what is playing out?
— Elochukwu Ohagi (@ElochukwuOhagi) July 20, 2021
Today, I’m seeing some Southerners who have been mute all along speak bcos Sunday Igboho was arrested, I like the fact they’re speaking up for their kin. I too, I’m with Igboho but you see people like that, they’re the reason why we are here. You don’t speak till it gets to you🙄
