Igboho had filed an originating motion seeking orders declaring invasion of his Ibadan residence on July 1 illegal, restraining security agencies and their agents from further invasion and N500 billion damages for the invasion.
The suit, the lawyers said, derived from Order 11, Order XI and XIL of the fundamental human rights (enforcement procedure rules 2009, and under the inherent jurisdiction of the court as preserved by section 6 of the 1999 constitution.
DSS personnel had stormed Igboho’s house in Soka area of Ibadan between 1am and 3am on July 1, shooting their way through.
The DSS has paraded the suspects and ammunition which they allegedly recovered from his house.
Igboho, standing trial in Cotonou, Benin Republic, denied keeping ammunition in his house, saying the armed law enforcers must have come with the said ammunition.
In the suit, Igboho, through his lawyer Chief Yomi Aliu (SAN), is seeking orders declaring the invasion as a violation of his fundamental human right, damage of his property as a violation of his fundamental right with N500bn damages.
