Last Friday, rebuffing pressures to appeal the court judgement delivered six years ago, the DSS paid the ₦10 million damages awarded the businessman by the court. In addition, the DSS Director-General, Mr. Tosin Ajayi added another ₦10 million to help the victim mitigate the losses he incurred during the period.
This is the first time any security agency in Nigeria is compensating a victim of the negligence of its officers in this manner.
