The Federal High court in Lagos yesterday has declared the seizure of
suspended CBN Governor, Mr Lamido Sanusi’s passport unlawful. The court
asked the Federal Government to return
the document and tender a public apology to Sanusi, stressing that the
intelligence agents broke the law when they seized his passport. It also
asked that N50m be paid to him for damages.
The court further restrained the Federal Government through its agents
or representatives from arresting and detaining Mr Sanusi without following due process of law, and restrained the government from interfering with Mr Sanusi’s freedom of movement
