Sunday Igboho

Two extra aides of Yoruba nation activist, Sunday Igboho, have been launched by the Division of State Safety.

The lawyer defending the aides of Chief Sunday Adeyemo aka Sunday Igboho, Pelumi Olajengbesi, disclosed this to newsmen as he threatens a authorized motion in opposition to the safety company that’s nonetheless holding on to 2 others regardless of the courtroom granting them bail.

In response to Olajengbesi, solely Tajudeen Irinloye and Uthman Opeymi Adelabu had been launched on Friday, September 3 whereas Amudat Habibat Babatunde and Jamiu Noah Oyetunji remained within the custody of the key police. He stated the DSS didn’t give any motive for it is refusal to grant freedom to the detainees.

A press release he launched reads:

“DSS selective obedience to courtroom order; an affront to and disrespect of the authority of the courtroom”, the lawyer famous that the DSS merely has no proper or energy to pick out or unilaterally handpick which order of courtroom is handy for it to obey or honor.

The keenly observing world will recall that in our final press briefing on the on-going case of Chief Sunday Igboho’s aides, it was reported that the DSS is but launch 4 of detainees on their custody on grounds of bail perfection technicality, through which we had been allowed to safe the discharge of others.

The DSS’ cherry-picking of an order of courtroom is an open dare and affront on the authority of the issuing courtroom and it lacks authorized backing below the extant legal guidelines of Nigeria. It’s a condemnable motion in any sane democratic society and speaks unwell of the professionalism of the intelligence company.

The DSS merely has no proper nor energy to pick out or unilaterally handpick which order of courtroom is handy for it to obey or honor. Any iota of non-compliance to an order of courtroom is tantamount to ignore of such an order in its entirety and similar is contemptuous.

Consequently, we wish to restate that if by Monday the sixth of September, 2021, the DSS proceed with their illegal detention of the remaining two detainees, we will not hesitate to proceed with our earlier plans to institute a contempt continuing in opposition to the Director Basic of the SSS, Yusuf Magaji Bichi.

The DSS as a legislation enforcement company shouldn’t be allowed to hold out its official duty with impunity and absolute disrespect to the legislation of the land particularly the place the constitutional rights and liberty of residents are at stake. It’s a reprehensible conduct unbecoming of an company which is itself a creation of the legislation and it’ll not go unchallenged.”
