High Court Orders Attachment of Ondo Govt Funds to Pay ₦30m Compensation to Amputee Shot by Amotekun Operatives

An Ondo State High Court in Akure has ordered the attachment of Ondo State Government funds across multiple commercial banks to enforce payment of a ₦30 million judgment debt to Mr. Oluwasegun Oluwarotimi, a commercial motorcyclist shot by Amotekun operatives in 2021. The injury later resulted in the amputation of his leg. Justice Omolara Adejumo granted the garnishee order after the state government failed to comply with the court’s 2023 judgment, which was upheld after the Court of Appeal struck out the government’s appeal. The ruling directs banks holding state funds to attach and remit the judgment sum, reinforcing accountability for human rights violations by state-backed security agencies.
