Sunday Igboho Drags FG To Court Demanding Immediate Release Of His Aides
Chief Sunday Adeyemo, aka Sunday Igboho, has petitioned the Federal High Court in Abuja for the release of his aides who were detained by Department of State Services agents on July 1 at his home in Ibadan’s Soka neighborhood.
Chief Yomi Aliyu (SAN), counsel for the Yoruba Nation agitator, told our correspondent over the phone on Thursday that he had filed a case in Abuja’s Federal High Court for the release of the 13 arrested people.
The lawyer did not reveal the specifics of the lawsuit, but he did say that Igboho’s spokesman, Olayomi Koiki, had published a statement on Wednesday saying that the DSS had refused lawyers access to Igboho’s aides in detention.
“We have filed an action before a Federal High Court in Abuja about their bail,” Aliyu replied when asked what steps he was taking to obtain their release. Today, we filed it.”
On July 1, about 1:30 a.m., the DSS raided Igboho’s home. Two of his aides were killed, and 13 people were arrested, according to the secret police, who also recovered rifles and ammunition.
The guns were planted by the DSS, according to Igboho, who has subsequently disputed the allegations.
