The Department of State Services (DSS) on Monday presented eight aides of the Yoruba Nation agitator, Sunday Igboho, at the Federal High Court in Abuja.
Earlier, Judge Obiola Egwatu ordered DSS to bring 12 detained Ibojo assistants to the court on the second day of the delay, July 29, in a unilateral ruling to the court.
Justice Egwuatu also ordered the DSS to show cause why the applicants should not be admitted to bail.
However, despite Justice Egwuatu’s directive, the DSS failed to produce the 12 detained aides of Igboho in court on July 29.
The court again, issued a fresh order to the Director-General of the Service to produce the 12 aides before it on August 2 (today), after the case was adjourned.
The aides were arrested when DSS officials raided Igboho’s home on July 1, but have sued the service, saying their fundamental human rights were being infringed.
The counsel to the arrested aides, Pelumi Olajenbesi, sued the DSS, claiming that his clients have remained underground for weeks after their arrest.
