August 04, (THEWILL) – The Department of State Service (DSS) on Wednesday produced all 12 detained aides of Sunday Adeyemo popularly known as Sunday Igboho before the Federal High Court in Abuja.
DSS had at the last adjourned date brought only eight detainees to court in what appears to be a partial compliance with the order of a Federal High Court, Abuja.
The absence of the remaining four without any explanation had generated apprehension and speculation as what could have happened to the rest.
Justice Obiora Egwuatu had on July 29, reiterated his order to the DSS to produce the applicants in court on August 2 and also appear before the court to show why the applicants should not be released unconditionally.
The order was sequel to an ex parte application argued by applicants’ lawyer, Pelumi Olajeingbesi, wherein he informed the court that the applicants have been in custody of the DSS since July 1, 2021.
They were arrested during a midnight raid on Igboho’s residence in Oyo State and subsequently brought to Abuja.
