The Court of Appeal, Ibadan division, sitting in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, has faulted the judgement of an Oyo State High Court which awarded N20 billion damages to a self-acclaimed activist, Sunday Adeyemo, popularly called Sunday Igboho.

Delivering judgement Tuesday, in the appeal against the judgement of Justice Ladiran Akintola of the Oyo State High Court, Justice Muslim Hassan held that Justice Ladiran Akintola, who delivered the judgement on September 17, 2021, acted on the wrong principles of law in awarding the cost to Igboho.

The Attorney General of the Federation, State Security Service and Director, State Security Service in Oyo State, were the appellants in the case.

The appellate court held that Justice Akintola can’t assess damages claimed by Igboho using his own conceived parameters.
