Sunday Igboho Drags President Buhari To Court Over Detained Aides

Yoruba activist, Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, has dragged the President Muhammadu Buhari-led government to court over the detention of his aides who were arrested during the raid by the Department of State Services (DSS).

GoldenNewsNG gathered that Igboho approached the Federal High Court in Abuja, for the release of his aides who were arrested by DSS operatives who raied his house in the Soka area of Ibadan on July 1.

The activist lawyer, Chief Yomi Aliyu (SAN), told PUNCH on the telephone on Thursday that he had filed an action before the court for the release of the 13 arrested persons.

Those arrested and paraded were: Abdulateef Ofeyagbe; Amoda Babatunde, aka Lady ‘K’, Tajudeen Erinoyen, Diakola Ademola, Abideen Shittu, Jamiu Noah, Ayobami Donald, Adelabe Usman, Oluwapelumi Kunle, Raji Kazeem, Taiwo Opeyemi and Bamidele Sunday.

Aliyu, who did not give the details of the suit, said, “We have filed an action before a Federal High Court in Abuja concerning their bail. We filed it today.”

The lawyer has also written the DSS, Inspector General of Police and the Federal Government to pay damages in the sum of N500 million to his client as compensation for the “destruction of his property”.

Sunday Igboho’s spokesman, Olayomi Koiki, had issued a statement on Wednesday that the DSS did not allow lawyers to see the activist’s aides in its custody.
