Co-owner of Amigo supermarket, Mustapha Fawaz, and
four Lebanese who were arrested over the cache of arms uncovered in Kano state
have filed a suit before the Federal High Court, Abuja for unlawful arrest and
detention without trial.
According to reports, they are demanding N50 billion
as compensation from the Department of State Security Services (DSS), the
Director General of DSS, Ekpeyong Ita and the Attorney General of the
Federation and Minister of Justice, Mohammed Adoke.
In the suit filed by Mr Bamidele Aturu, the
applicants are asking the court to declare their arrest and continued detention
without trial as “illegal, unlawful, unconstitutional, null, void and of no
effect whatsoever.”
They are also asking the court to stop the
respondents from unlawfully extraditing them.

organization were recently uncovered by a team of joint security officers after
conducting a search of the house located at No3 Gaya road off Bompai road
allegedly belonging to one Abdul Hassan Taher Fadlalla – a Lebanese national
who is now at large and declared wanted.
