Ado Ekiti-The Federal High Court sitting in Ado Ekiti Friday ordered the security agency to release Hon Afolabi Akanni, a member of the Ekiti State House of Assembly, who was arrested last week by men of the Department of State Services during their invasion of the Assembly.
In the alternative, the Court in its ruling delivered by Justice Taiwo Taiwo, ordered the DSS to produce Akanni in Court on Wednesday, March 16 and show cause why he would not be released.
Akanni, representing Efon constituency, was arrested last Friday by DSS for undisclosed reason and whisked to Abuja and had since been detained by the security agency.
Consequently, Akanni, through his lawyers, Barr. Obafemi Adewale and Barr. Bunmi Olugbade approached the court through an ex-parte application, seeking the protection of his fundamental human rights in line with Section 35 (1) of the 1999 constitution.
In an ex-parte motion number FHC/AD/CS/18/16, dated March 10 and supported by 21-paragraph affidavits, deposed to by a member of the State House of Assembly, Hon Tunji Akiyele, sought an order of the court compelling the DSS to release him pending the determination of the substantive issue.
