The court also overturned the ruling that declared the attack on Igboho’s home illegal and called the payment of damages against the DSS outrageous.
In his ruling, Judge Hassan stated that the Oyo State High Court ignored the reasons for the case in gaining jurisdiction and that the judge should not have decided on the award of damages based on his own preferences.
