The associates were arrested on July 1 after the DSS carried out a raid on Igboho's Ibadan home.
The secret police released the eight detainees on Monday afternoon, August 30, but held on to four others.
Justice Obiora Egwuatu of the Federal High Court sitting in Abuja on August 4, 2021 granted bail to the 12 detained aides of the separatist leader. They had met their bail conditions including the provision of 24 sureties but the DSS lawyer, Idowu Awo, kicked against the bail granted by Justice Egwuatu to four of the detainees, claiming that they were heavily involved in the alleged offence of arms stockpiling and other criminal activities of their boss, Igboho.
Awo had sought a remand application for the four detainees saying their release would affect the investigation.
