Abba Kyari Demands ₦500m In Damages From NDLEA
The former head of the IGP Intelligence Response Team, Abba Kyari, has demanded ₦500 million from the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency as damages over unlawful arrest and detention.
Kyari also directed the agency to tender a written apology to him in two national dailies.
This was stated in a motion marked: FHC/ABJ/CS/182/22, filed before Justice Inyang Ekwo of a Federal High Court in Abuja.
The embattled police officer in the motion filed by his lawyer, C. O. Ikena, also wants an “order restraining NDLEA, Police from detaining or arresting him unlawfully.
“An order of this court directing the respondent to pay the sum of ₦500,000,000.00 (Five hundred million Naira) to the applicant, for unlawful violation of the applicant’s constitutional right provided for in Sections 35 and 36 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (As Amended).”
Kyari in the motion to enforce his fundamental rights requested that his arrest and detention by the NDLEA “without bringing him before a court of competent jurisdiction from February 12 till date is unlawful, illegal, and a gross violation of his fundamental rights.
This is coming after Kyari sued the Federal Government over his continued detention.
Tracknews had reported that the suspended Deputy Commissioner of Police filed a suit against the federal government before a Federal High Court in Abuja in the suit marked FHC/ABJ/CS/182/22 over the violation of his fundamental human rights.
