President Tinubu’s Government has been ordered to pay a whopping N100 million to Emefiele over his human rights violations.
NewsOnline Nigeria reports that Justice Olukayode Adeniyi, presiding over the FCT High Court Abuja, has ordered President Bola Tinubu Federal Government to pay 100 million naira to Godwin Emefiele, the former CBN Governor, in recognition of the infringement on his liberty.
This Nigeria news platform understands that the Court, in its ruling, said that the extended detention without trial was a glaring violation of his fundamental rights.
The verdict also prohibited the federal government and its agents from re-arresting or detaining Emefiele without a court order.
The judgment was given in a fundamental human rights suit filed by the former CBN governor following his prolonged detention in the custody of the Department of State Services.
In his initial prayer to the court, Emefiele asked for an order directing the respondents to compensate him with N1 billion and to prevent any future arrests or detentions.
