Justice Ladiran Akintola of Oyo State High Court has declared the raid conducted by the Department of State Service on the residence of Sunday Igboho in Ibadan as illegal.
The court also ordered DSS to pay N20 billion to Igboho as exemplary and aggravated damages.
Akintola described DSS action as “arbitrary aggression and prejudices” against Igboho.
Igboho had requested N500 billion damages for the invasion. It was earlier reported that The Soka, Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria, home of the pro-Yoruba self-determination activist was invaded by men from DSS about 1:30 am on July 1, 2021, leading to the arrest of 12 of his aides, while Igboho managed to escape arrest.
