The Department of State Services (DSS) has presented eight out of the 12 detained associates of Sunday Adeyemo, also known as Sunday Igboho, before a Federal High Court Judge in Abuja.
The DSS brought eight of the detainees before Justice Obiora Egwuatu, on Monday, following the ex-parte motion moved by Counsel to the applicants, Pelumi Olajengbesi, on July 23.
The remaing four detainees, who were not in court, include Abdullateef Ademola Onaolapo, Uthman Opeyemi Adelabu, Oluwafemi Olakunle and Opeyemi Tajudeen.
Those in court were Amudat Babatunde aka Lady K, Tajudeen Erinloye, Diekola Ademola Jubril, Abidemi Shittu, Jamiu Noah Oyetunji, Ayobami Donald, Raji Kazeem and Bamidele Sunday.
The motion moved by Olajengbesi, marked: FHC/ABJ/CS/647/2021, was dated July 7 and filed on July 8.
When the matter was called, the applicants lawyer informed the court that he had a motion on notice, seeking the order of the court to amend the processes already filed.
He said the amendment was to allow him to regularise the processes after consultations with his clients in the DSS facility.
The DSS Lawyer, I. Awo, did not object to the application.
Olajengbesi also called the attention of the court to the fact that the DSS did not come to the court with all the detainees.
He urged Justice Egwuatu to mandate the DSS to produce all the12 detainees in court on the next adjourned date.
Egwuatu, who granted the prayer, adjourned hearing of the substantive matter until Aug. 4.
