Nicholas Ashinze, a serving army colonel had through his lawyer, Mike Ozekhome instituted a fundamental rights suit against the EFCC, the Chief of Army Staff and the Nigerian Army.
He asked the Justice Yusuf Halilu-led court to issue an order declaring his arrest and detention by the anti-graft agency since December 23, as unlawful and also to issue an order preventing his re-arrest with a compensation of N500m.
Ashinze urged the court to grant him bail on self-recognition, since the other parties to the matter were not present during sitting.
The judge, however, adjourned the matter to March 14. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
