The Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF), Mr Abubakar Malami, SAN, on Wednesday filed an application before an Oyo State High Court praying to vacate the order stopping the arrest and freezing the accounts of Sunday Adeyemi, a.k.a , Sunday Igboho.



According to the News Agency of Nigeria, the court had on Aug. 4 granted an experte application by Igboho , restraining the Department of State Services (DSS) and the AGF from arresting, intimidating and freezing Igboho’s account.



Igboho’s counsel, Mr Yomi Aliyu, SAN, had informed the court that his client’s life was being threatened after the invasion of his house by the DSS on July 1, where property was damaged and an occupant killed.

At the resumed hearing of the suit, AGF’s counsel, Mr Abdullah Abubakar, informed the court he filed a preliminary objection on the matter.



Abubakar said that he could not move the application now because he filed the preliminary objection and other processes in the matter out of time and urged the court to grant him an extension of time.



He said that the delay in filing his processes, was not deliberate but due to the fact he was not briefed on the matter at the appropriate time.



The counsel to DSS, Mr T.A. Nurudeen, informed the court that he has responded to the processes served on him by the applicant’s counsel.



In his response, the applicant’s counsel, Aliyu, said the processes filed by the AGF were incompetent, adding that the respondent has exceed the five days stipulated by the law to respond after the received of the originating summon.



He urged the court not to grant the application, adding that time was of essence in a fundamental human Rights suit.



Justice Ladiran Akintola granted the application for extension of time and awarded N50,000 against the respondent.



Akintola said that the order restrained the respondents from arresting, intimidating and freezing Igboho’s account still subsist until it is vacated by the court.



He adjourned the case until Aug.30 for the hearing in the application. NAN

The invasion of the Ibadan home of Igboho by the security agency had led to the death of two people.
The Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF), Abubakar Malami, has denied authorising the invasion of the Ibadan residence of the Yoruba self-acclaimed activist, Sunday Adeyemo, popularly called Sunday Igboho, by the men of the Department of State Services (DSS).



The invasion of the Ibadan home of Igboho by the security agency had led to the death of two people.


Igboho had on August 4 approached the Oyo State High Court in Ibadan, seeking an order of the court restraining the DSS and the AGF from arresting, intimidating, harassing and freezing his bank accounts.

He wants the same order for his aides and guests who were arrested and taken to Abuja by the men of the DSS, thus asking the court to declare the invasion of his residence on July 1 as illegal and infringement on his fundamental human right.



But the AGF, in an affidavit deposed on August 18, 2021 by one Thomas Etah, who is a civil servant of the Federal Ministry of Justice headquarters, and as a litigation officer, argued, “I have the consent and authority of the first respondent (Malami) and that of Maimuna Lami Shiru (Mrs), Simon Enock, Abdullahi Abubakar and Elodimuo Ekene, the counsel in chambers assigned to conduct the defence on behalf of the first respondent (Malami) to depose to this counter-affidavit.

“That the facts deposed to herein are from my own personal knowledge and as well as facts from information supplied to me in the course of preparing the case, that the first respondent denies paragraph 8(28), (29), (30) of the affidavit of Samuel Ojebode and states that contrary to the insinuation of the applicant to the effect, the first respondent, who is not a security officer as has been severally stated above, he did not participate in the commission of the acts being complained of or came back to Abuja and assumed the role of a judge or conducted any media trial,” Etah deposed.

But while the hearing was adjourned till August 30, Justice Akintola maintained that an order restraining the AGF, DSS or any other security agency from arresting or harassing Igboho still subsists till the next adjournment when the substantive case would be determined.

Is your Brain paining you?.... You said oil money was what built Enugu, which was one of the reasons Adaka Boro revolted against Ironsi.
Now my question is. when did did oil money build Enugu?

Jerryherd:

.

Adamu, OIL revenues never built Enugu. OTELECTUALS revenue from coal, and groundnut, from the north built old porthacourt city. So don't complain when oil the oil money is making the northerners, billionaires. and the south-south miserable and begging for jobs.

The British High Commission has said it will engage the Nigerian Government over the rearrest of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB.



Dean Hurlock, a spokesperson of the British High Commission, disclosed that the commission is “in the process of seeking clarification” from the federal government over Kanu’s rearrest.

In the message, Hurlock said the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office “stands ready to provide consular assistance”, TheCable reports.

The IPOB leader, who has a British passport was arrested by Nigerian security agents and extradited to Nigeria on Sunday.



Kanu was extradited to continue his trial before the Justice Binta Nyako-led Federal High Court sitting in Abuja.

The IPOB leader is facing trial for committing treason.

Kanu’s brother, Emmanuel had disclosed that the IPOB leader was picked up in Kenya over the weekend.
