The Court of Appeal sitting in Ibadan has on Tuesday, nullified the N20billion exemplary and aggravated damages, awarded against the Department of State Security (DSS) for the attack on the house of Yoruba Nation agitator, Chief Sunday Adeyemo also known Sunday Igboho.
While describing it as outrageous, the court set aside the judgment which declared the attack illegal.
In his judgement, Justice Muslim Hassan held that the Oyo State High Court lacked jurisdiction on the matter, adding that the judge should not have awarded damages based on his personal parameters.
