Hon. Justice (Prof) Alaba Omolaye-Ajileye (rtd), Visiting Professor at the National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN), has commended the Director-General of the Department of State Services (DSS), Mr. Oluwatosin Adeola Ajayi, for his decisive action in awarding N20 million in compensation to Mrs. Chineze Ozoadibe and five other individuals who were wrongfully arrested and detained by the DSS on suspicion of involvement in illegal bunkering.

In a statement, Justice Omolaye-Ajileye lauded the DSS DG for demonstrating leadership, accountability, and respect for human rights, noting that the move reflects a commitment to transparency and the rule of law.

“The award of N20 million in total compensation to these wrongfully detained individuals showcases Mr. Ajayi’s dedication to rectifying mistakes, building public trust, and upholding justice,” he said.

“This action sets a positive precedent for other security agencies to follow and underscores the DSS’s commitment to protecting the rights of Nigerian citizens.”

The retired jurist further emphasized that such exemplary steps by security agencies are vital for strengthening public confidence and fostering a culture of accountability in law enforcement.
