Sunday Igboho
Justice Ladiean Akintola of Oyo High Court granted an ex-parte motion restraining the Department of State Security (DSS) and Attorney General of the Federation (AGF) Abubakar Malami from arresting, intimidating, harassing, and blocking bank accounts of Sunday Igboho. Critics of the government are worried about compliance though.
This latest order was granted following an ex-parte motion moved by his lawyer Chief Yomi Aliu (SAN) at the court on Wednesday.
The motion developed from the originating motion seeking N500 billion damages for invasion of his house in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital on July 1.
Aliu expressed confidence Malami (SAN) will not disobey the court order, stressing that it was given directly against his office.
Hearing in the suit was adjourned to August 18.

Problem is the DSS is lawless and isn't known for obeying court orders. Its hierarchy appear to think they're only answerable to the presidency and not rule of law.
