An Oyo State High Court has granted an ex-parte motion restraining Nigeria’s secret police; the Department of State Security (DSS) and the Attorney General of the Federation; Abubakar Malami (SAN) from arresting, intimidating, harassing, and blocking bank accounts of Chief Sunday Adeyemo aka Sunday Igboho.
Delivering the order on Wednesday, Justice Ladiean Akintola of the state high court ordered that DSS and the AGF should desist from blocking accounts belonging to Mr. Sunday Adeyemo.
Recall, Igboho had through his counsel, Chief Yomi Aliyyu ( SAN), filed an application before the court asking for N5bn damages for the destruction of his cars and residence in Ibadan during the July 1 raid on his residence by the Department of State Services.
Aliu expressed trust in AGF Abubakar Malami (SAN), to respect court orders and Igboho’s fundamental human rights adding that the court order was issued directly against his office.
The suit was adjourned to August 18.
