A high court sitting in Abuja has ordered the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission to pay Chairman of Nigerian Bar Association Section on Public Interest and Development Law, NBA-SPIDEL, Dr Monday Ubani, N12million over his illegal arrest and detention for 20 days in 2019.
Ubani had maintained innocence over Olejeme’s disappearance, insisting that she absconded after the EFCC raided her home. He also stated that his decision to stand surety for Olejeme was because he compelled her to return to Nigeria to face the charges against her and all effort to secure her bail was frustrated by the EFCC.He subsequently filed an action before the FCT High Court seeking N5billion exemplary and aggravated damages for the violation of his rights.
Delivering judgment in the suit on Wednesday, Justice Sylvanus Oriji declared Ubani’s arrest and subsequent detention for 20 days as illegal and a violation of his right. The judge, however, refused to order the EFCC to offer a public apology for the illegal detention.
