The Federal High court in Lagos today has declared the seizure of suspended CBN Governor, Mr Lamido Sanusi’s passport unlawful. The court asked the Federal Government to return the document and tender a public apology to Sanusi, stressing that the intelligence agents broke the law when they seized his passport. It also asked that
N50m be paid to him for damages.
The court further restrained the Federal Government through its
agents or representatives from arresting and detaining Mr Sanusi
without following due process of law, and restrained the
government from interfering with Mr Sanusi’s freedom of
movement.
