OYO State High Court has awarded N20 billion as damages against Department of State Security (DSS) for illegally invading the residence of Chief Sunday Adeyemo (aka Sunday Igboho) at Soka, Ibadan on July 1, 2021.

In his ruling, Justice Ladiran Akintola of the State High Court, declared the raid by DSS as unlawful and directed the agency to pay the sum to Igboho as exemplary and aggravated damages.
