Essentially, the ex-lawmaker has dragged the EFCC and the Chairman of ASD Motors, Alhaji Sani Dauda who accused him of extortion, to the Federal High Court, Abuja where a motion on the enforcement of his fundamental rights was heard on Monday.
In the suit brought by Sani’s counsel, Abdul Ibrahim before the court, he claimed that the detention by the EFCC “without charging the applicant to a court of competent jurisdiction within FCT, Abuja is wrongful, unlawful, degrading, oppressive, null and void and thus constitutes infringements of his fundamental right to personal liberty enshrined under Section 35 and of the constitution”.
He is also seeking a declaration that by virtue of section 34 of the 1999 Constitution, the attempt to publish or actually publish the applicant with a bill board stating the alleged offence is tantamount to criminalizing Sani as a criminal when, at all times, he is constitutionally presumed to be innocent except upon a conviction by a court of law.
