The Federal High Court sitting in Abuja has ordered Department of State Service (DSS) to produce incarcerated aides of Sunday Igboho.

The order of the trial court on Friday is sequel to the granting of the applications of the 12 detained aides of the Yoruba nation activist.

Justice Obiora Egwuatu in his ruling on the ex parte application before the court instructed the DSS to produce the detained aides of Sunday Igboho in court on the next adjourned date.

Justice Egwuatu also ordered the DSS to prove why the applicants should not be admitted to bail.
The matter was adjourned to July 29 to take place during the court vacation.

Recall that the 12 detained associates of Yoruba nation activist, Sunday Adeyemo, aka Sunday Igboho, had instituted a suit against the Department of State Services and its Director-General, Yusuf Bichi.
The applicants’ counsel, Pelumi Olajengbesi, moved his ex parte motion praying the court for an order

They also sought the order of the court mandating and compelling the respondents to produce the applicants before the court and “show cause as to why the applicants should not be granted bail in accordance with the provision of section 32 of Administration of Criminal Justice Act 2015 and other extant laws in Nigeria.”
Olajengbesi argued that the applicants are citizens of Nigeria with inherent rights.

The ex-parte motion was supported by an eight-paragraph affidavit, exhibit, eleven-paragraph affidavit of extreme urgency, affidavit of non-complicity of action, and a written address.
