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.
