BREAKING: Court Adjourns Case Of Sunday Igboho’s Supporters

Court has adjourned the suit brought by 12 detained supporters of Yoruba Nation agitator, Sunday Adeyemo popularly known as Sunday Igboho.

EKO HOT BLOG reports that the Federal High Court sitting in Abuja has adjourned the suit brought by 12 detained supporters of Yoruba Nation agitator, Sunday Adeyemo popularly known as Sunday Igboho, to August 4, 2021.

EKO HOT BLOG had earlier reported that the detained aides were before the Federal High Court on Monday (today).

Ruling on Monday, Justice Egwuatu granted the applicants’ lawyer, Pelumi Olagbenjesi, the leave to amend his processes to correct the names of the applicants.

EKO HOT BLOG had last Thursday reported that Pelumi Olajengbesi had alleged that the DSS had given the applicants new names as there were discrepancies in the spelling of their names.

Justice Obiora Egwuatu had last Thursday ordered the DSS operatives to produce the aides who have been in their custody.

It would be recalled that the DSS had raided Igboho’s Ibadan residence in the Soka area on July 1, 2021, arrested about 12 of his aides, and killed two of them in a gun battle.

The supporters of Sunday Igboho were later moved to Abuja where they have been in detention.

However, owing to their detention, the Yoruba activist’s supporters through their lawyer, Pelumi Olajemgbesi, filed an application asking the court to “inquire into the circumstances constituting grounds of their arrest and detention since July 2, 2021, and where it deems fit admit applicants on bail”.

They further asked for an order “mandating and compelling the respondents to produce the applicants before this honourable court and show cause as to why the applicants should not be granted bail in accordance with the provisions of section 32 of Administration of Criminal Justice Act 2015”.

EKO HOT BLOG reports that the applicants are Abdulateef Ofeyagbe, Amoda Babatunde, Tajudeen Erinoyen, Diakola Ademola, Abideen Shittu, Jamiu Noah, Ayobami Donald, Adelabe Usman, Oluwapelumi Kunle, Raji Kazeem, Taiwo Opeyemi, and Bamidele Sunday.
