A single mother, Ms Odegua Okojie, has sued a Lebanese businessman, Charles Makhoul and the Department for State Services at a Federal High Court for illegally detaining her for nine days.
She claimed to have been arrested in a commando style at night in Benin, the Edo State capital, and detained at the DSS office before she was whisked to Abuja without knowing the offence she committed. Odegua also alleged that while at the DSS facility in Abuja, she was forced to accept N6 million as compensation for the trauma the Lebanese businessman made her go through.According to her, the illegal detention from July 9 to 16, 2019, was not only an infringement on her fundamental human rights but also unlawful and unconstitutional.
The plaintiff is also asking the court to award her N50 million as exemplary damages for the unlawful and unwarranted infraction on her rights.
