Kassim Afegbua, media adviser to former Nigerian military president, Ibrahim Babangida, who was declared wanted by the police, has sued for fundamental rights enforcement.
He is also demanding N1 billion damages from the police, its spokesperson, Jimoh Moshood, and two media houses.
Afegbua’s legal counsel, Kayode Ajulo, filed the suit at the Abuja Division of the Federal High Court Tuesday afternoon.
The reliefs sought include an immediate end to the alleged harassment being meted against him by the police.
Ajulo joined the National Television Authority and Channels Television in the lawsuit for airing claims that Mr. Afegbua was a wanted man.
