A Federal High Court Abuja on Friday ordered the Department of State Services (DSS) to produce the 12 detained associates of Yoruba Nation activist, Sunday Adeyemo, known popularly as Sunday Igboho before it on July 29.
Justice Obiora Egwuatu gave the order after Counsel to the applicants, Mr Pelumi Olajengbesi, moved the ex-parte motion marked: FHC/ABJ/CS/647/2021 dated July 7 and filed July 8.
Egwuatu also ordered Nigeria’s secret police to come and show cause why the applicants should not be granted bail.
The judge also granted the plea of the applicant, through the affidavit of urgency filed on why the matter should be heard expeditiously irrespective of the imminent court vacation.
At least a dozen of Igboho’s associates were arrested and detained by the DSS on July 1 after a raid on Igboho’s residence in the Soka area of Ibadan, the Oyo State capital.
The DSS said later that it gunned down two of Igboho’s associates in a gun duel.
Igboho was subsequently, declared wanted for allegedly stockpiling arms, an allegation he denied.
