Indications have emerged in Abuja that the authorities of the Department of the State Services (DSS) are holding on to the 12 aides of the Yoruba nation

agitator, Sunday Igboho because of the appeal lodged against the bail granted them by a Federal High Court in Abuja.

The release warrants were on August 23 signed by Justice Obiora Egwuatu after the detainees had perfected the conditions attached to their bail. Although no stay of execution of the high court decision has been sought, DAILY POST was informed that the DSS authorities quickly opted to go to the Court of Appeal to justify the further detention of the detainees.

“On that August 24, our lawyer beat a retreat by withdrawing the motion having been convinced that it would not fly, that the Judge will not grant it, so the withdrawal of the motion, as far as we are concerned, was a good decision,” the source said. In the notice of appeal dated August 13, 2021, DSS faulted the bail granted the detainees and prayed the Court of Appeal, Abuja division to it set aside.

The four were also ordered to be reporting to DSS office in Abuja on first Monday of every month pending when their interrogation would be completed.

The Nigerian DSS is a law by itself; so they don't give a damn about deadlines, threats, or the rule of law itself: they are above any of these. He can only do this if the bail is unconditional . Its not about making headlines . If there are conditions to be met then let us hope they've met the conditions or else the way the secret police is structured, they'd not release them oh
