A High Court in Oyo State has ordered the Department of State Services (DSS) to pay N20 billion to Chief Sunday Adeyemo aka Sunday Igboho.

The ruling by Justice Ladiran Akintola came in a suit filed by Chief Yomi Alliyu, the lawyer of the Yoruba nation agitator.

He had prayed the court to order the DSS pay N500 billion damages for the invasion of Igboho’s Soka residence in Ibadan on 1 July.

The court held that the invasion of the Yoruba nation agitator’s home was illegal.

Justice Ladiran rebuffed the DSS for acting based on what he described as “arbitrary aggression and prejudices” from Igboho’s agitation for Yoruba nation.

Igboho’s lawyer, Alliyu in a post on Fcaebook said of the judgment:

“What a good day for democracy and the rule of law! We won =N=20 billion aggravated damages for our client in CHIEF SUNDAY ADEYEMO A.K.A IGBOHO OOSA v. AGF & ORS !”

2023: Will zoning play role in APC?

President Muhammadu Buhari’s nephew, Mallam Mamman Daura may have been testing the waters when he said in July 2020 that there was no need to zone the 2023 presidential ticket to any part of the country. He had argued that rather than zoning the ticket, competence should be given priority in the choice of the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in 2023. The ruling party and the Presidency dissociated themselves from the comment, while many stakeholders saw the comment as a ploy by a section of the country to hang on to power.
