He disclosed that N2 million in cash, 1000 euros, expensive jewellery, travel documents and mobile devices were taken by officers of the secret police. The letter red;
“We hereby demand that the Federal Government orders an investigation into the actions of the various security operatives led by DSS that raided Chief Sunday Adeyemo’s house with a view to sanctioning them and release all the innocent people arrested and compensate the families of those murdered. Our client should also be paid N500m as reparation for damage to his exotic cars that include Mercedes Benz G-Class and 2019 Lexus car. We also demand a public apology.’”
“No demand to enter was made but rather they shot their way into the house allegedly killing seven people though DSS spokesman admitted killing two people which involved an old Imam that used to lead Muslim occupants in prayers and observing Tahjud at the time of the barbaric raid. A lady among the invaders was allegedly shouting, ‘If you get him gun him down.”
Alliyu also alleged that the operatives were disappointed that they couldn’t find a single gun or ammunition in his client’s house. He alleged that the weapons were planted to justify Igboho’s arrest.
