Femi Falana has condemned the raid of Sunday Igboho’s house by the DSS last Thursday evening. The Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) has severely criticized the activity of the DSS by tagging it as unlawful.
Falana, in an interview with Channels Television firmly stated that the DSS acted like armed robbers.
After Sunday Igboho‘s house raid, the secret police dropped a press statement into the public domain with claims that the Yoruba Nation leader was planning an insurrection against the country.
Falana said;
There is no law in Nigeria that allows you to arrest somebody in the dead of the night when you are not planning a coup and you are not an armed robber.
There is no provision unless a crime is being committed in the night; you cannot go there and arrest.
Take Ibadan, for instance, the invasion of the home of Igboho happened in the night, and for all-day, everybody was wondering who did (what), and that seven people were killed. People were arrested and abducted at 2:00 a.m., the governor of the state wasn’t aware.
Now, Sunday Adeyemo has said he didn’t have any gun in his house. Yet, the DSS paraded guns and other ammunition. All the controversies would have been unnecessary if the DSS had behaved like a modern, civilized agency. These are very dangerous legacies of military dictatorship in our country.
In other news, Sunday Igboho’s lawyer has filed a lawsuit against the Nigerian government. He demanded compensation of N500 million and an apology for invading his home and vandalizing his properties.
