The Federal Government may file a fresh action against Yoruba secessionist agitator Sunday Adeyemo aka Sunday Igboho following the judgment of Oyo State High Court that awarded N20 billion damages in his favour.
The Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, told the News Agency of Nigeria in New York that the Federal Government had the right to appeal the Judgement or file a fresh charge.
The judge, Ladiran Akintola, had awarded the money as “an exemplary and aggravated damages” against the AGF and the State Security Service, over the invasion of Adeyemo’s home in Ibadan on July 1.
However, Malami said the position of the Federal Government on the judgment was about “law and jurisdiction”.
