JUST IN: DSS Fails To Produce Igboho’s Detained Aides In Court

The Department of State Services (DSS) has defied a court order to produce the 12 detained aides of Yoruba-nation agitator, Sunday Adeyemo,  popularly known as Sunday Igboho.

Justice Obiora Egwuatu of the Federal High Court in Abuja had ordered the DSS to produce in court on July 29, the 12 aides who have been in their custody since July 2, 2021.

Their case was expected to proceed regardless of the annual court vacation slated to begin on July 26.

But since the DSS failed to bring the aides before the court on Thursday, Justice Egwatu has now issued another order, asking the DSS to produce the 12 Aides of Sunday Igboho in court on Monday, August 2.

While giving the order, he stressed that when a court of competent Jurisdiction, gives an order, such must be respected and obeyed.

Justice Egwatu also made an order directing the DSS to make way for the Counsel to the 12 Aides to see them between today and the next adjourned date (Monday).

The suspects had earlier sued the DSS before the Federal High Court Abuja, on grounds that their fundamental human rights had been infringed.
