Justice John Tsoho also declared the arrest and detention of the former PDP Chairman by the EFCC as unlawful.
The court’s decision followed an application filed by Secondus seeking the enforcement of his fundamental human rights, which he claimed were violated by the EFCC.
The former PDP Acting Chairman in the application asked the Justice John Tsoho-led court to declare his arrest and detention illegal.
Secondus also urged the court to award damages against the anti-graft agency.
Justice Tsobo in his ruling held that, “The first prayer of the applicant is hereby granted and the sum of N10 million damages is hereby awarded against EFCC”.
DGossip247 recalls that the EFCC had in March arrested Secondus for illegally receiving buses on behalf of his party which they later asked him to return.
