The public interest case of PATIENCE NONYE OMEZIE & KASIM
TUNDE SULEIMAN Vs FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA has been filed at the Federal
High Court, Abuja, FCT, Nigeria
The
case challenges the immigration job interviews of March 15, 2014 across Nigeria
in which 19 citizens including pregnant women died and many others injured in
their bid to get recruited into the 4th Defendant - Nigerian Immigration
Service.
We are hopeful that
this legal action will send the right message to the authorities and the
citizenry about accountability and the right value of lives of Nigerian
citizens.
The
case was prepared, and court hearings will be lead by a team of senior
advocates of Nigeria - Funke Adekoya SAN, Jibrin Sam Okutepa SAN, Ikeazor
Akaraiwe SAN and Spaces for Change.S4C's Victoria Ibezim-Ohaeri.
