The Nigeria's secret police Department of State Services (DSS) had shortly after the judgment that indicted it approached the appellate Court, asking it to nullify the judgment.

The three-man panel of judges led by Justice Muslim Hassan in its ruling stated that the Oyo State High Court ignored the grounds for the case in acquiring jurisdiction and that the judge should not have decided on the award of damages based on his own preferences.

Justice Ladiran Akintola of Oyo State High Court had on September 17, 2021 while delivering judgment on a fundamental human right enforcement suit declared the raid conducted by the Department of State Service on the residence of Yoruba nation agitator, Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, in Ibadan as illegal.Akintola had described DSS’ action as “arbitrary aggression and prejudices” against Igboho.

Igboho filed the application, through his lawyer, Yomi Alliyu, to enforce his fundamental human rights, pursuant to Sections 33-46 of the 1999 Constitution as amended and relevant articles of the African Charter on Human and Peoples Rights.Igboho also sought an order of the court directing the respondents to return all the items seized from the house.

He had listed the items to include, N2 million cash, one thousand Euros, travel documents including international passports belonging to him and his family members, gold jewelry and wristwatches, 2 mobile phones, and other items yet unknown but which were allegedly carted away by the SSS.

This breakfast go reach everybody, shey una dey call people IPOB.. it is going round for all to taste

The man may have used a wrong or crude approach, but the things he stood for are glaring and explicit

Nigeria should be devided let everyone go his separate way

That's miss use of power. Apc will pay for the price. for subjugation.

Evil court in an evil country.. Always

APC have the judiciary and they are the executive so everything works they way no rule of law.

They should don't worry now, all we want is Yoruba Nation.

What more can I expect from the Terrorist state of Nigeria? The judiciary joined the executive to terrorize its citizens.

Hahaha Dis scam govt

So they overturned the verdict as 'payback' for his refusal to compromise huh? Anyway, injustice is to be expected in FulaNigeria. No worries though. This is even more 'ginger' for us to go harder for Yoruba Nation becos we cannot continue in a lawless 'country' like this.

They just approved Billions for ranching in the North so wat do you expect...

Learn about ethnic warlords so that u do not allow them use ethnicity to deceive u

Great move ,The Nigeria nation defending herself against warlords masquerading as freedom fighters

The drama of Nigeria Judiciary, always singing in discordant tunes.

The judiciary is an arm of APC, I'm not surprise at all.

Is there justice in Nigeria ? They only do the will of the government and no place for the common man

Lol

Who still trust Nigeria court that are working with their evil government

Na naija now. Anything is possible as long as you are not on the side of the ruling party. God will bless our nation Nigeria.

That is madness.

Nigeria judiciary through their actions and inactions aids Govt in breeding social injustices that had contributed to the torn apart of the country Nig of today. Someone house was invaded in commando style and people killed, properties lost for just exercising his right.

This case makes no sense

There is different between APC and Nigerian Court

Judiciary like every other thing in the zoo is a pure joke

Lol, let wait

Fool thoughts, you think our country is going to dash you that amount😂

This one na real Estate investment

Where Buhari wan see that kind money pay🤣 money wey dem don use cut grass for ministry of agriculture 🤣

Olodo court abi

A Fulani government that bought cars for Niger politicians, building railway line to Niger Republic, 95% of security heads are Fulanis, will never pay a Yoruba hero that amount of money if he is not willing to betray us. They tried to use it to bribe him to drop the agitation.

Lmao

The last hope of a common man is now the foremost instrument of oppression. No surprise there.

country wey broke...lol.

Why wouldn't they.
