The Attorney General of the Federation and the Department of State Security have been barred from arresting the Yoruba nation agitator, Chief Sunday Adeyemo, a.k.a Sunday Igboho.
Oyo Reporters recalls that security operatives, led by the personnel of the DSS, raided Igboho’s Soka, Ibadan, Oyo State residence killing two of his aides and arresting 12 others weeks ago.
Igboho is currently facing trial in neighbouring Republic of Benin after being arrested for entering the country with an invalid passport.
Igboho, who had earlier been declared wanted by the DSS, had sued the Federal Government for the bloody attack and the destruction of his property during the night attack on his Ibadan home.
At the court on Wednesday, the Federal Government and the DSS were restrained from arresting, intimidating, harassing, and blocking Sunday Igboho’s bank account.
Justice Ladiran Akintola gave the order following an ex-parte motion moved by his lawyer, Chief Yomi Aliu (SAN) at the court on Wednesday.
Yomi Aliu said, “The court has ordered that he must not be arrested, detained, killed in the next 14 days. The account also said that his account should not be blocked.”
The case was adjourned until August 18.
