The Federal High Court in Abuja has struck out a motion filed by the Department of State Service, DSS, seeking further detention of four out of the 12 aides of Yoruba secessionist leader, Sunday Igboho on Tuesday.
The motion was thrown out by Justice Obiora Egwuatu , following its dramatic withdrawal by counsel to the DSS, Mr Idowu Awo.
At the resumption of the matter, when the motion was to be heard, DSS lawyer stunned the court when he announced his decision not to go ahead with the matter.

Justice Egwuatu subsequently struck out the motion following the no objection by the detainee’s lawyer, Mr Sunday Adebayo.
