NewzA Federal High Court has dismissed a N120 million fundamental rights enforcement suit filed by former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai against the State Security Service (SSS), the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC), and the Attorney General of the Federation. The presiding judge ruled against the application, effectively ending the legal challenge brought by the former governor.
Mr. El-Rufai had initiated the lawsuit alleging that the respondents violated his constitutional rights during an incident at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja last February. He claimed that security and anti-corruption agencies attempted to arrest him and seized his passport upon his arrival in the country, prompting him to seek damages for the alleged infringement.
