Three Lebanese and the Nigerian coowner of Amigo Supermarket, who were arrested for keeping an illegal armoury and suspected links with a Hezbollah terror cell in Kano last week, have sued the Federal Government over alleged illegal detention, demanding N50bn damages.
The plaintiffs – Abdalah Tahini, Talal Rouda and Khosai Nouridine – in the action brought before the Federal High Cour sitting in Abuja are also seeking the court’s order stopping the Federal Government from deporting them.
They are contending that if they must be deported, the legal procedure must be followed
Their Nigerian associate, Mustapha Fawaz, who is also in court is joining the Lebanese to request for a separate order directing the Federal Government to unseal their business premises in Abuja.
