Rickey Tarfa sues MTN, EFCC, others for N5 Billion


Embattled Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Mr. Rickey Tarfa, has filed a fresh fundamental rights enforcement suit against telecommunications company, MTN Nigeria Communications Limited, for the alleged violation of his right to privacy.


Tarfa is seeking a court declaration that his right to privacy was violated when the call records/log on his phone with mobile number 08034600000 was allegedly accessed without his authority and made available to Sahara Reporters and other online news media without any reasonable cause or a lawful court order.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission had on February 5 arrested Tarfa and confiscated his two mobile phones and his Mercedez Benz SUV with Registration No. KJA 700 CG, on the allegation that Tarfa hid two alleged suspects of economic and financial crimes in his car to prevent their arrest.

Joined as respondents in Tarfa’s second fundamental rights enforcement suit are the EFCC, its Chairman, Ibrahim Magu, Mrs. Rashidatou Abdou and Mr. Femi Falana (SAN).

He is urging the court to order the respondents to pay him N5bn for the alleged violation of his rights.

  1. Don't the security and investigative agencies in Nigeria has legal powers to demand helpful and required information from all available sources there in that country?I think the mistake Efcc made was not conducting interviews of both Tarfa and the judge in question simultaneously but in different offices'

  5. Access to call log info must follow legal process. The relationship between a telephone company and the subscriber is similar to Doctor and patient; bank and customer. Phone companies should not be cowed into submission like this. Rules should be followed. It may be you tomorrow.
