Eight of the twelve detained aides of the Yoruba Youths Leader (YYL) and activist, Sunday Adeyemo aka Sunday Igboho, have been released on bail to their lawyers, Pelumi Olajengbesi and his other associates.
The aides were released on Monday to their lawyers after the Department of State Security (DSS), had earlier refused to comply with court ruling on the matter.
Olajengbesi had issued an ultimatum to the DSS to release the detained aides, who were arrested at the home of Mr Adeyemo, in the wee hours of July 1, where two other aides were killed.
Justice Obiora Egwuatu of the Federal High Court sitting in Abuja had on July 23 ordered the DSS to produce the detainees in court on July 29. But the DSS only produced 8 of the detained 12 aides.
