The Department of State Services (DSS) has released two aides of Yoruba Nation agitator, Sunday Adeyemo, also known as Sunday Igboho, in its custody.
According to activist, Omoyele Sowore, the court meanwhile refused to release Lady K and one other.
This newspaper earlier reported that the Department of state Security, DSS arrested several of Igboho’s aides after a July 1st Raid on his Soka, Ibadan residence. Two of his workers were killed in a shootout with the operatives.

The Secret police recovered several arms and ammunition, fake passports, bloody charms and different communications devices from the Yoruba activist’s home.
