DSS giving Igboho’s aides new names, says lawyer

THE Federal High Court sitting in Abuja on Thursday adjourned the suit brought by the 12 detained aides of Sunday Adeyemo, also known as, Sunday Igboho, to Monday.

Justice Obiora Egwuatu also ordered that the DSS should allow the lawyer to the detained aides to see his clients.

The Department of State Service failed to produce the detained aides as earlier ordered by the court.

The counsel for the DSS, I. Awo, informed the court that the DSS had no intention of disobeying the court’s order.

He, however, stated that there were facts which were necessary for the court to be aware of regarding the matter.

Awo said some of the names on the court order were different from the names of the persons they had arrested on July 1 at Igboho’s house.

The counsel for the applicants, Pelumi Olajengbesi, alleged that the DSS had given the applicants new names as there were discrepancies in the spelling of their names.

In the suit marked FHC/ABJ/CS/647/2021, Justice Egwuatu had ordered the DSS to produce the detained aides of Sunday Igboho in court.

Justice Egwuatu had also ordered the DSS to show cause why the Igboho’s aides should not be admitted to bail.

Recall that the detained aides had instituted a suit against the DSS and its Director-General, Yusuf Bichi, following their arrest and detention on July 1, after the raid of Igboho’s residence in the Soka area of Ibadan, Oyo State by the DSS.
