The Department of State Services DSS has informed the Federal High Court in Abuja that it has appealed the bail granted four of the 12 detained associates of Yoruba nation agitator, Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho. When the matter was called, counsel to the DSS, Idowu Awo, told the court that the agency was withdrawing an earlier application seeking to nullify the bail granted to the four. Awo told the court that since he had filed a notice of appeal against the bail granted the four detainees, he would prefer to pursue the appeal at the appellate court. Following the withdrawal of the application, Justice Obiora Egwuatu struck out the motion since there was no objection from counsel to the detainees, Sunday Adebayo DSS had approached the Federal court on August 9 with a motion seeking to nullify the bail granted to the four in order to keep them detained for further investigation. The agency is claiming that the four detainees namely: Amudat Babatunde, Abideen Shittu, Jamiu Oyetunji, and Bamidele Sunday had greater involvement in the alleged arms stockpiling charge leveled against them.
