Description

The Department of the Security Services on Tuesday barred journalists from covering the proceedings of the case between the Department of Security Services, the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, and the Yoruba Nation agitator, Chief Sunday Adeyemo, popularly called Sunday Igboho, at the Oyo State High Court in Ibadan.

They, however, allowed journalists’ entry 20 minutes after the proceeding had started.
