Lagos- Reports coming from Premium Times say the Federal High Court in Lagos state on Friday has released a restrainig order barring the Nigerian Police Force and the State Security Service, SSS, from arresting embattled Central Bank Governor, Mr. Sanusi Lamido Sanusi.
Jusitce I.N. Buba reportedly granted the order based on a suit filed by Mr. Sanusi against the police, the SSS, and the Attorney General of the Federation.
The order restrains "the Respondents, their privies, agents, representatives, or any other law enforcement agencies of the Government of the Federation from violating, interfering with, or imposing any restriction on the enjoyment of the Applicant’s right to personal liberty and freedom of movement pending the hearing and determination of the Motion on Notice.”
Mr. Sanusi was suspended by President Goodluck Jonathan on Thursday, after being accused of corruption. His passport was reportedly seized by the SSS immediately he arrived Nigeria.
