A
federal high court sitting in Abuja yesterday awarded a N10million damage
against the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for what it termed
as the unlawful arrest and detention of former Acting Chairman of the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP), Uche Secondus in February this year. He was arrested
for receiving some buses on behalf of his party PDP.
Secondus
in a fundamental human rights suit filed before the court, claimed his rights
were violated by EFCC. He asked Justice Tsho to declare his arrest and
detention illegal. Delivering
judgement on the case, the presiding judge, Justice James Tsoho said...
“The
first prayer of the applicant is hereby granted and the sum of
N10 million in damages is hereby awarded against the respondent (EFCC)”.
