Adeleke Media Aides Drags DSS To Court Over Fresh Threat Of Arrest
Spokesperson to Governor Ademola Adeleke, Mallam Olawale Rasheed has approached a Federal High Court in Osogbo to initiate contempt of court proceedings against State Security Service, its agents and Femi Oyetola, son of the former Governor of Osun State.
Rasheed, through his lawyer, Barr. J.A Ayanyemi, had approached the court to obtain a Notice Of Caution Against Court Contempt, sequence to fresh invitation and alleged harassment by the state security service.
In the suite marked FHC/OS/CS/89/2024, Rasheed said despite the initial originating summons and court order restraining 1-3 respondents from inviting, arresting or detaining him, the DSS through its agents are still harassing and threatening him from exercising his fundamental rights.
Olawale Rasheed and Sarafa Ibrahim, the special assistant to the governor on print media who had approached the court sought for the protection and enforcement of their fundamental human rights against the Director General of the State Security Service, its Osun State Director, and Femi Oyetola.
In the suit registered on 25th April, 2024, Olawale alleged Femi Oyetola as being embittered with the loss of his father and their political group at the last Osun governorship election, and as the mouthpiece of the incumbent governor who upstaged Femi’s father, he is being maliciously hunted by members of the opposition APC using Femi Oyetola, in active collaboration with security agents, to trample upon his fundamental rights.
Also, Ibrahim in a suite number FHC/OS/CS/ 108/2024 accused
the first to third defendants of vigorously attempting to violate his fundamental rights to personal liberty.
The duo therefore entreated the court to grant their reliefs so as not to allow the defendants to collaborate at trampling upon their rights or get at them unjustifiably.
