Eight of the 12 detained aides of Yoruba activist, Sunday Adeyemo, aka Sunday Igboho have been released. The aides were released to Olajengbesi after the Department of State Services failed to comply with a court ruling on the matter.
It was gathered that they were released to their lawyer following the threat of filling a case of contempt against the security outfit. The human rights lawyer said the refusal of the DSS to honour a clear order of court, though habitual, was not only worrisome but an affront on the authority of the court and the country’s judicial system.
“All 12 detainees who were immediately subjected to degrading conditions of detention and torture were denied access to their lawyers by the SSS up until the intervention of the court through an order recognising and re-emphasizing the detainees’ right to legal representation against whatever allegations against them.
“In light of this, we are giving the SSS, particularly its Director-General, forty-eight hours and not an hour more, within which to fully obey and comply with the release order of the court in favour of all 12 detained associates of Mr. Sunday Igboho or face contempt proceedings before a court of competent jurisdiction with the full weight and recompense of the court brought to bear against his insolence and disregard of court order.
This is nigeria a country that drinks the blood of its people. This is nigeria a country ruled by terrorist. This is the nigerian that the fulani caliphate wants you to live with them.
