BREAKING: DSS Brings 12 Detained Aides Of Sunday Igboho To Court

It would be recalled that the DSS had raided Igboho’s Ibadan residence in the Soka area on July 1, 2021.

EKO HOT BLOG reports that the Department of the State Services (DSS) on Wednesday, brought the 12 detained aides of the Yoruba Nation agitator, Sunday Adeyemo well known as Sunday Igboho, before the Federal High Court sitting in Abuja.

The latest development followed the order by Justice Obiora Egwuatu to the DSS to produce all the detained aides of the Yoruba activist to enable the court inquire into the circumstances surrounding their arrest.

The DSS had brought four out of the 12 detained supporters of Sunday Igboho before the court on Monday.

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.

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.
