Court adjourns judgment on Igboho’s appeal

The Federal Government appealed the N20.5 billion in damages ordered in favor of Sunday Adeyemo aka Igboho against the Department of State Services, and the Court of Appeal, Ibadan Division has reserved decision in that case.

After court on Wednesday, Chief Yomi Aliyyu (SAN), the attorney representing Igboho, informed the media that the matter had been postponed for judgment.

He stated that the parties to the lawsuit would be informed of the precise date of the judgment by the court.

Journalists and Igboho supporters who had gathered outside the courthouse were not permitted entry.

Igboho cannot be allowed to pass away like Chief Moshood Abiola did during the military regime, according to his supporters who rushed the court to demand his release.

On September 17, 2021, an Oyo State High Court presided over by Justice Labiran Akintola awarded N20 billion in damages to the DSS for invading Igboho's home in the Soka neighborhood of Ibadan on July 1, 2021.

Igboho narrowly averted death during the brutal secret police raid that resulted in the deaths of two people and the damage of his property.

The 79-year-old, who is said to have early-stage dementia, was also told to speak with some attendees, engage them in conversation, and thank them before departing. Major worries about the President's wellbeing and mental capacity as he approaches 80 have been raised as a result of his errors.
