The Court of Appeal sitting in Ibadan, Oyo State, has nullified the N20 billion aggravated damages awarded to Yoruba Nation agitator, Sunday Adeyemo, well known as Sunday Igboho, against the Federal Government and Department of State Security (DSS).
The presiding judge, Justice Muslim Hassan, also nullified the judgement that declared the attack on Igboho’s house illegal, describing the award for damages against the DSS as outrageous.
An Oyo State High Court sitting in Ibadan, the state capital, in September 2021, awarded N20 billion aggravated damages against the FG and DSS in a case of fundamental human rights instituted by Sunday Igboho.
