Court Orders DSS Not To ‘Arrest, Detain, Kill’ Igboho In Next 14 Days

A High Court sitting in Oyo has ordered the Department of State Services (DSS) not to arrest, harass, or kill Yoruba nation agitator, Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho.

The ruling was pronounced by Justice Ladiean Akintola following an ex-parte motion moved by Igboho’s lawyer, Chief Yomi Aliu (SAN) at the court on Wednesday.

Speaking after the case, Igboho’s lawyer, Aliu, in a statement quoted by The Punch said; “The court has ordered that he must not be arrested, detained, killed in the next 14 days. The court also said that his account should not be blocked,” Yomi Aliu said after the case.

The case was however adjourned until August 18.

Meanwhile, in a similar development, DSS produced the 12 detained aides of Sunday Igboho, before the Federal High Court in Abuja.

Green White Green (GWG) recalls that Justice Obiora Egwuatu had ordered the DSS to produce all the Igboho aides to enable the court inquire into the circumstances surrounding their arrest.

The aides were arrested when DSS raided Igboho’s home in Oyo state, July 1, 2021.

DSS claimed the raid was “based on intelligence that he had stockpiled arms in the place. On approach to the residence, the team came under heavy gun attack by nine (9) men, suspected to be IGBOHO’s guards. Six (6) of them were armed with AK-47 gun and Three (3) others, with Pump-Action riffles.

“In the course of the exchange, two (2) of IGBOHO’s armed men were gunned down while the rest were subdued and arrested”.

“Only one operative who was shot by the assailants on his right hand sustained injury. He has however received medical attention and is very stable” DSS spokesman, Peter Afunanya said.
