An Abuja based Lawyer and Human Right Activist, Barrister Kayode Ajulo has
petitioned the Director General of the Department of State Services DSS,
over what He described as the “Unlawful Invasion” of the House of a
Traditional Ruler in Bayelsa Sate, King AJ Turner.
Ajulo in the petition, copies of which were made available to newsmen in
Abuja alleged that the men of the DSS, had on the 9th of February 2016,
unlawfully and forcefully invaded the Maitama Abuja residence of the
Traditional ruler, without recourse to the instrumentality of the Law, and
against clear provisions of Section 37 and 43of the 1999 Constitution of
the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended).
Ajulo described the incident as so disturbing to his client, particularly
when there is no allegation that warrants, the invasion by the officers
from the DSS.
The Activist Lawyer therefore demanded from the DSS, full explanation as
to the lawfulness of the invasion of the Home of the Traditional ruler
within seven days, as he declared that he will not hesitate to approach
the court, to seek redress for the violation of the rights of King AJ
Turner.
