A Nigerian court has fined the country’s anti-graft agency $50,000 over the unlawful detention of an Austrian security consultant accused of money laundering, a statement said Sunday.
The Abuja judge ruled that Wolfgang Reinl was illegally detained by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for over a month, said the statement issued by PRNigeria, a media consulting firm for the Nigerian security agencies.
Judge Peter Affen ordered the EFCC to immediately release Reinl’s passport and criticised it for flouting fundamental human rights.
The ruling followed a suit filed by Reinl to challenge his arrest and detention from late last December to early February over a money laundering case being investigated by the EFCC.

ReplyDeleteIn the dating world, singles are not people who have never been married or people who have never been in relationships before, they are people currently not attached to any relationship and are looking for one. This means that there are chances that you could have children from a previous relationship age being a factor. You do not need to be divorced to have children and want to get back into the dating world; it could be that you are a young single mother or widowed.
