- The DSS paraded Sunday Ighoho’s aides on July 1 after a raid on his home in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital
A Federal High Court in Abuja has struck out a suit filed by the Department of State Services (DSS) seeking to further detain four of the 12 aides of Yoruba nation agitator, Sunday Adeyemo, who is also known as Sunday Igboho.
The motion was thrown out by Justice Obiora Egwuatu on Tuesday following the dramatic withdrawal by counsel to the security agency, Idowu Awo.
At the resumption of the case, the DSS lawyer stunned the court just as the motion was about to be heard, announcing his decision not to go ahead with the matter.

Rather, he informed the court that he had filed a notice of appeal against the bail granted to four out of the 12 detainees.
Awo stated that he would prefer to pursue the appeal at the Court of Appeal.
Thereafter, Justice Egwuatu struck out the motion following the no objection by the detainees’ lawyer, Sunday Adebayo.
In early August, an Oyo State High Court granted an ex-parte motion prohibiting the DSS and Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF), Abubakar Malami, from arresting Sunday Igboho.
The court also went further to restrain the DSS and Malami from freezing Igboho’s financial assets, as well as restrict any form of intimidation and harassment by the duo.
