BREAKING: Court Stops AGF, DSS From Arresting Sunday Igboho

  • Sunday Igboho, who is currently in detention in the Benin Republic, filed the suit at the court in Ibadan through his counsel, Chief Yomi Alliyu (SAN).

EKO HOT BLOG reports that the Oyo High Court has stopped the Department of State Security (DSS) and Attorney General of the Federation (AGF) from arresting, and blocking bank accounts of popular Yoruba Nation agitator, Sunday Adeyemo fondly known as Sunday Igboho.

The court, EKO HOT BLOG gathered, granted an ex-parte motion restraining the DSS and the AFG from arresting, intimidating, harassing, and blocking the accounts of Sunday Igboho on Wednesday.

EKO HOT BLOG reports that the order was granted following an ex-parte motion moved by his lawyer, Chief Yomi Aliu (SAN).

The motion developed from the originating motion seeking N5bn billion damages for invasion of Sunday Igboho’s residence in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital on July 1, 2021.

Igboho, who is currently in detention in the Benin Republic, filed the suit at the court in Ibadan through his counsel, Chief Yomi Alliyu (SAN).

Igboho is contending that the invasion of his house in the Soka area of Ibadan was malicious and also amounted to a violation of his fundamental human rights.

EKO HOT BLOG recalls 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.
