Court Awards N20b Damages Against DSS For Raid Of Igboho’s House

Justice Ladiran Akintola of Oyo State high court has directed the Department of State Security (DSS) to pay 20 billion naira to Chief Sunday Adeyemo (A.K.A Sunday Igboho) for unlawfully invading his Soka, Ibadan house on July 1.

Akintola awarded the sum as exemplary and aggravated damages against the secret police in the suit filed by Igboho in which he is seeking 500 billion naira damages for the invasion.

The court also declared the invasion illegal and tongue-lashed the DSS for acting based on what he described as “arbitrary aggression and prejudices” from his agitation for Yoruba nation.
