Yoruba Nation agitator Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, has sued the Federal Government to an Abuja Federal High Court, seeking the release of his associates arrested by operatives of the Department of State Services at his residence in the Soka area of Ibadan on July 1, 2021.
Ighoho’s legal representative. Chief Yomi Aliyu, SAN, told Punch on Thursday that he had filed an action before a Federal High Court in Abuja for the release of the 13 arrested persons.
Aliyu failed to disclose details of the suit, but said spokesman for Igboho, Olayomi Koiki, had issued a statement on Wednesday that the DSS did not allow lawyers to see Igboho’s aides in its custody.

Speaking on what step he was taking to ensure their release, Aliyu said, “We have filed an action before a Federal High Court in Abuja concerning their bail. We filed it today.”
Recall that the DSS had invaded the residence of Igboho around 1:30am on July 1. The secret police admitted to killing two of his aides and arresting 13 persons, adding that its men recovered arms and ammunition.
However, the claim was debunked by Igboho, alleging that the weapons were planted by the DSS.
