The Court of Appeal sitting in the Ibadan Division on Tuesday revoked the judgment of the Oyo State High Court that granted N20 billion damages to Yoruba nation agitator, Chief Sunday Adeyemo, aka, Sunday Igboho.
The Oyo State High Court declared the attack on the house of Yoruba nation agitator by the Department the State Security (DSS), illegal and awarded N20 billion damages against the DSS.
However, at the Tuesday proceedings, the court also nullified the N20 billion exemplary and aggravated damages awarded against the DSS for the attack, describing it as outrageous.
Justice Muslim Hassan, in his judgment, explained that the Oyo State High Court lacked jurisdiction on the matter, stressing that the judge should not have awarded damages based on his personal parameters.
