El-Rufai Defeats SSS In Court Over Anambra State Elections Harassment, to get N2m damages
Most of you will remember when SSS officials detained and
harassed El-Rufai last year November during the last Anambra State Governorship
elections? Mr El-Rufai after the harassment approached the court for redress
and here’s the outcome.
Almost one year gone, Justice Ibrahim Bature Gafai of the
Federal High Court today held that the SSS has no statutory powers under the
Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 or under any Nigerian law
to detain Mr. El-Rufai without showing cause to a court of competent
jurisdiction.
