DSS Reacts To Court Judgement Ordering It To Pay Igboho ₦20bn
- …spokesman of the DSS, Peter Afunanya, has said that the court possibly has not informed the secret police.
The Department of State Services (DSS) on Friday said it is yet to be informed about the court judgment directing the service to pay ₦20 billion to the self-acclaimed Yoruba Nation activist, Sunday Adeyemo, also known as Sunday Igboho.
Justice Ladiran Akintola of Oyo State High Court gave the order in a suit filed by Igboho, through his lawyer, Yomi Aliu (SAN).
Aliu had headed to the court to challenge DSS raid on his residence located at Soka area, Ibadan, Oyo State capital, at about 1:30am on July 1, 2021.

Igboho had asked the court to compel the respondents to jointly pay him the sum ₦500 million as special damages for the damage done to his house and his car and another ₦500 billion as exemplary and aggravated damages for breaching his fundamental rights with the malicious invasion.
He also sought an order directing the Federal Government and the other respondents to tender a public apology in two national dailies and return all the items seized from the house which include: “₦2m cash, one thousand Euros, travel documents among others”.
However, spokesman of the DSS, Peter Afunanya, has said that the court possibly has not informed the secret police.
“The court possibly has not informed us. So, my official response is that I don’t have any comments,” he said.
