They SSS kept the associates of Sunday Igboho in detention for 34 days without charge.
The Federal High Court, Abuja, on Wednesday, granted bail to 12 associates of Yoruba nation separatist, Sunday Adeyemo, also known as Sunday Igboho.
While he granted bail to the four singled out by the SSS in the sum of N10 million, with two sureties each, he pegged the bail bond for the rest eight at N5 million. He said it took the order of the court for the SSS to allow even the legal representatives of these applicants to have access to them.He argued that to continue to keep the applicants in the custody of the service would amount to an affront on the constitution and infringement on their fundamental human rights as provided by the law.Responding, the lawyer to SSS, I. Awo, opposed the application for bail for only four of the applicants.
Mr Awo said Paragraph C of the same section provided that where the applicant for bail attempted to intimidate witnesses or interfere with investigation, in such circumstances, bail could be refused.
