October 22, (THEWILL) – The Department of State Services (DSS) has released Amudat Habibat Babatunde (Lady K) and Jamiu Noah Oyetunji, the remaining detained associates of embattled Yoruba Nation agitator, Sunday Adeyemo popularly known as Sunday Igboho.
Their lawyer, Pelumi Olajengbesi, confirmed the development on Friday.
Olajengbesi, in a terse statement on Friday said: “This is to officially announce the release of Amudat Babatunde Abibat AKA Lady-K and Jamiu Noah Oyetunji, the remaining two Sunday Igboho’s aides, from the State Security Service Custody today – 22nd October, 2021.
“While the matter is still a subject of litigation, we shall have no comment further on this for now.”
The DSS had on July 1, during a midnight raid of Igboho’s Soka house in Ibadan, Oyo State, arrested 12 of his associates and whisked them away to Abuja, where they were kept in detention, but 10 were released.
Those earlier released were Abideen Shittu, Abdullateef Onaolapo, Ayobami Donald, Olakunle Oluwapelumi, Dikeola Ademola, Bamidele Sunday, Raji Kazeem, Taiwo Tajudeen, Tajudeen rinloye and Uthman Adelabu.
The DSS had held on to Jamiu Oyetunji and Amudat Babatunde (Lady K) despite an order by Justice Obiora Egwuatu of the Federal High Court, Abuja on August 4, for the release of all the 12 detained associates.
Dissatisfied with the ruling, the DSS went ahead to slam five-count terrorism charges against the Oyetunji and Lady K.
