Shobayo.<\/p>\n<p>The case bordered on an allegation of arson reported by one Akeem Adigun (aka Socopao) in which Alhaji Isiaka Fatai, Oyero and 12 others.<\/p>\n<p>It could be recalled that Agosasa was recently enmeshed in crisis, with property worth billions of naira destroyed with one life lost over an Obaship tussle in the town.<\/p>\n<p>In a statement from the counsel to Alhaji Isiaka, Kehinde Bamiwola Esq, he alleged that the men of the DSS operatives used weapons on the two, stressing that \u201cAlhaji Isiaka Fatai was beaten, slapped, man-handled, rough-handled and molested.<\/p>\n<p>The Principal Registrar of the High Court and Sectional Head of High Court, Ilaro, Comrade Omololu Olusanya, who confirmed the incident, described it as shocking and disrespectful to the rule of law.<\/p>\n<p>He noted that even after the judge had ordered the operatives not to make any arrest within the court premises, they still proceeded to arrest the two persons.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey still went ahead and did the act to the extent that they assaulted one of our staff members, Mrs. Fadina, while doing that act. It\u2019s a very sad issue that caused a lot of noise within the court premises.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was from the source that we heard they were DSS agents. If anybody sees them, one would think they were armed robbers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey did not wear anything that identified them as DSS, but they came to my lord this morning and said they had some people to arrest. That was when we knew they were DSS officers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c They approached the judge before the court session began. The honorable judge advised them that if they wanted to make an arrest, it must not be done within the court premises.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey could stay outside and do whatever they wanted, but they refused that advice and carried out the arrest within the premises,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/nigeria\">Nigeria<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
