The Attorney General of the Federation (AGF), Abubakar Malami (SAN), on Wednesday, prayed Justice Ladiran Akintola of the Oyo State High Court sitting at Ring Road in Ibadan, to strike out the suit filed before him by Yoruba nation agitator, Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, on the ground that the court lacks the inherent jurisdiction to hear the matter.


Malami had through his counsel, Abdulahi Abubakar, filed a notice of preliminary objection to the suit brought pursuant to Sections 251 (1)(R) of the 1999 constitution, Order 2, Rule 1 and 2, Order 8, Rules 1 and 2, and Order 9, Rule 1 of the Fundamental Rights (Enforcement Procedure) Rules 2009, Order 3, Rule 1 of the Oyo State High Court (Civil Procedure) Rules 2010.

Abubakar and his team had filed the objection along with a Motion on Notice to ask for an extension of time to enable him to file his preliminary objection, counter-affidavit and written address in opposition to Igboho’s application and both processes were moved before the court at the resumed hearing of the matter.

The motion for extension of time was however objected to by Igboho’s legal team led by Chief Yomi Alliyu (SAN) on the grounds that extension of time could not be applied as time is of the essence in a suit of such nature.

He had argued that the law stipulates that replies shall be given within five days, stressing that Malami had nowhere to hide because the case is predicated on the issue of fundamental human rights, adding that by filing the motion on notice, Malami had called for the discretion of the court.Alliyu consequently asked the court to exercise its discretion instead of granting Malami’s application.

On their part, T. A. Nurudeen, who is the counsel to the Directorate of Security Services (DSS), which is the second respondent and the director of DSS in Oyo State, who is the third respondent, had no objection to Malami’s application.

Giving a bench ruling on the matter, Justice Akintola allowed Malami’s lawyers to move his application and awarded the sum of N50, 000 as a cost in favour of Alliyu and his team.

Space for sale

Malami the terrorist!

The DSS think they can go to someone's house at 1:30am kill innocent people just because they are in power and think they can get away with it. No wonder they are using delaying tactics to hold on to those people they arrested in igboho's house.

Someone said that this man could be the one ruling this country....

He's the brain behind so many things happening in this country....
