Sunday Igboho Demands N5.5bn Damages From FG Over Invasion Of House
Chief Sunday Adeyemo aka Sunday Igboho, a Yoruba Nation activist, is suing the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF) and the Department of State Services (DSS) for N5 billion in damages following the invasion of his home by DSS agents in the early hours of July 1.
Igboho, who is now detained in Benin Republic, filed the complaint on Friday through his lawyer, Chief Yomi Alliyu, at the Federal High Court in Ibadan (SAN).
Two of his associates were slain, and 12 others were apprehended, during the raid.
Igboho claims that the raid of his home in Ibadan’s Soka neighborhood was deliberate and a violation of his fundamental human rights.
The agitator told the court that the DSS operatives stormed his residence at about 1 am on July 1 and “without announcing who they were or asking the applicant (Igboho) to open his gate, shot their way through, killing two people, including an elderly Imam doing Tahjud (vigil), shooting at cars, thereby destroying them and not sparing animals, like cats and dogs in total violation of the intendments of the fundamental human rights provisions of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 and the African Charter on Human and People’s Rights Act.”
He said for two hours, they shot through the ceiling and roof of his house, depriving him of “the quiet enjoyment of his house for the period of the armed invasion of the said property.”
Exposed!! Popular Abuja doctor revealed how men can naturally and permanently cure poor erection, quick ejaculation, small and shameful manhood without side effects. Even if you are hypertensive or diabetic . Stop the use of hard drugs for sex!! It kills!
Igboho is requesting that the court compel the defendants to return his personal goods, which they allegedly took during the operations.
He listed the things as N2 million in cash, €1,000 in cash, travel documents, gold jewelry and wristwatches, an iPhone 12 smartphone, a Samsung smartphone, and other unidentified items.
Igboho is also demanding that the AGF, the DSS and the DSS DG pay him N500m as cover for the damage done to his cars and house and another N5bn as “exemplary and/or aggravated damages for breaching the applicant’s fundamental rights in the course of the illegal and malicious invasion of his residence.”
In addition, the embattled Yoruba Nation agitator wants the court to declare that he has “unquestionable and inalienable fundamental right to peacefully campaign and seek for self-determination of Yoruba tribe in Nigeria and lobby the legislature to amend the 1999 Constitution.”
The court is yet to fix a date for the hearing of the suit.
