The secret police failed to produce the applicants but made effort to justify its inability to comply with the court’s order.
The Federal High Court in Abuja has adjourned the suit brought by the 12 detained associates of Yoruba Nation agitator, Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, against the Department of State Services to August 4.
The DSS on Friday allowed the applicants' lawyers to see only four of them, keeping back eight others in custody, claiming that the names it was given were wrong. "The DSS invited the lawyer to the 12 Yoruba Nation agitators arrested at Sunday Igboho's house in Ibadan to visit them . “But they brought three men and the lady among them , who has not been allowed a change of clothes since July 1. They claimed the names of the rest were wrong,” the source added.
