An Oyo State High court has ordered the Federal Government to pay Yoruba nation agitator, Sunday Adeyemo, a.k.a. Sunday Igboho, the sum of N20 billion.
Justice Ladiran Akintola awarded the sum on Friday as compensation for the invasion of Igboho’s house and for what was described as exemplary and aggravated damage done against the activist.
Igboho through his lawyer, Yomi Alliyu, had filed a suit challenging the invasion of his house in Ibadan on July 1 by operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS).
A follow up on this judgement, especially as it pertains to federal government reactions, is expected.
