Finally, Igboho aides released

The eight followers of Yoruba nationalist Sunday Adeyemo Igboho have finally been released to their lawyers Pelumi Olajengbesi.

The aides were released on Monday after the DSS failed to comply with court ruling on the matter, and Olanjengbesi was about to file court contempt against the DSS.

Judge Obiora Egwuatu of the Federal High Court in Abuja had on July 23 ordered the DSS to produce the detainees in court on July 29. But the DSS only produced 8 of the detained 12 aides.

Those admitted to N5 million bail and let go are Abdulateef Onaolapo, Tajudeen Erinoye, Diekola Jubril, Ayobami Donald, Uthman Adelabu, Oluwafemi Kunle, Raji Kazeem and Bamidele Sunday.

Four detainees still being held are Mrs Amudat Babatunde, Abideen Shittu, Jamiu Oyetunji, and Bamidele Sunday who got bail in the sum of N10 million each with two sureties in like sum.
