An Oyo state High Court sitting in Ibadan has ordered the Department of State Services (DSS) to pay the sum of N20 billion to Yoruba Nation activist, Sunday Adeyemo, also known as Sunday Igboho, as damages for the invasion of his residence on July 1, 2021.
Justice Ladiran Akintola gave the order on Friday morning in a suit filed by Igboho, who is currently in detention in Benin Republic.
Akintola also dismissed an application challenging its jurisdiction for hearing the suit.
Recall that Igboho was arrested in Benin Republic while trying to escape to Germany following the invasion of his residence by the DSS.
Igboho’s lawyer, Yomi Alliu, had challenged the raid in court.
However, some of Igboho’s aides who were arrested during the raid have been released except for two who were charged for terrorism.
