A former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode has condemned the act of arresting, detaining the wife of Yoruba Nation's agitator, Sunday Igboho, Mama Ayomide alongside the activist in Cotonou.

Igboho and his wife were arrested and detained in Cotonou, while trying to board a flight to Germany  on Tuesday.

In a post on Twitter, Fani-Kayode revealed that even in war, women and children are protected not targeted, and only.the barbarians do otherwise.

"It is the height of wickedness to arrest & detain Sunday Igboho's wife, Mama Ayomide, alongside him in Cotonou as they were about to board a plane to Germany. Up till now the lady is still in detention. Even in war women & children are meant to be protected & not targetted.

Only barbarians, terrorists, cowards, degenerates, reprobates, evil men and devil-worshippers do otherwise. Mrs. Igboho has not been accused of anything and she has not broken any laws. Her "crime", in the eyes of her tormentors, is simply being the wife of Sunday.

Leave her alone! Anything less would be cruel. I make this appeal to the authorities in both Cotonu & Nigeria. The women & children of those we perceive as being our adversaries should NEVER be targetted for death, destruction,incarceration,torture, persecution or humiliation." He wrote.
