Sunday Igboho: DSS defies court order again, produces 8 out of 12 detained aides

The Department of State Services (DSS) has again flouted a court order mandating its operatives to present the twelve (12) aides of Chief Sunday Adeyemo popularly known as ‘Sunday Igbo’ who were arrested on July 1 in Ibadan, Southwest Nigeria.

They were arrested when DSS officials raided Igboho’s home on July 1, but have sued on grounds that their fundamental human rights were being infringed on.

Also, Justice Obiora Egwuatu had earlier ordered the DSS to produce the 12 aides on July 29. But on court day, the DSS failed to honour the directive.

A lawyer to the detained  aides, Pelumi Olajengbesi, sued the DSS, claiming that his clients have remained underground for weeks.

The judge had issued another order and adjourned the case to August 2.

However, the DSS on Monday (today) only presented eight (8) out of the 12 aides paraded on July 1 at the Federal High Court in Abuja, the nation’s capital as against the ruling and order of Justice Obiora Egwuatu.

Lawyer to the aides, Mr Olajengbesi, asked the court to mandate the DSS to produce the last four aides in court at the next date of the hearing on August 4.
