The alleged mastermind of the Nyanya bomb attack, Aminu Sadiq Ogwuche has challenged his ‘illegal’ detention without trials.
The
ex-soldier is, therefore, demanding a whooping sum of N100m as
compensation over detention by the Department of State Services (DSS).
His request is coming barely one week after he was discharged by an Abuja court.
Ogwuche
made this prayer through his counsel, Ahmed Raji (SAN) with an
application pursuant to Order 2, Rule (1),(2),(3) of the Fundamental
Enforcement Procedure rule and Sections 34,35,36,37 and 42 of the 1999
Constitution seeking for the enforcement of his fundamental human right.
Joined
as defendants are the DSS and the Attorney General of the Federation
AGF. But, the court struck
out AGF’s name, on the request of the
applicant.
Counsel to Ogwuchen further submitted that it was
based on the request of the Federal Government that the Interpol placed a
red alert on the applicant contrary to the impression that it was the
interpol who did so.
