An Oyo High Court has granted an ex-parte motion stopping Department of State Security and Attorney General of the Federation from arresting, intimidating, harassing, and blocking bank accounts of Yoruba nation agitator, Chief Sunday Adeyemo aka Sunday Igboho.
Justice Ladiean Akintola gave the order following an ex-parte motion moved by his lawyer Chief Yomi Aliu (SAN) at the court on Wednesday.
“The court has ordered that he must not be arrested, detained, or killed in the next 14 days. The account also said that his account should not be blocked,” Yomi Aliu said following the case.
The motion developed from the originating motion seeking N500 billion damages for invasion of his house in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, last month.
Aliu expressed confidence that Malami will not disobey the court order, stressing that it was given directly against his office.
Then, the court adjourned the suit until August 18.
