The leader of the Yoruba nation agitator, Sunday Adetyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho has got a relief in his battle for freedom. The activist was awarded N20 billion aggravated damages by an Oyo State High Court in his suit against the federal government over the invasion of his residence by the Department of Security Service (DSS).
The presiding judge, Justice Ladiran Akintola of the Oyo State High Court adjourned the case after issuing the order.
