10 Majour Court Cases Won by Bar. Femi Falana as compiled by Spynigeria.NG.

Femi Falana, SAN, is renowned for his extensive legal career advocating for human rights and constitutional law in Nigeria. Below are 10 court cases he had successfully won in the past.

1. **Jones Abiri v. DSS (2018)**
Falana secured the release of journalist Jones Abiri, who had been detained without trial by the Department of State Services (DSS) for two years. The Federal High Court awarded Abiri ₦200 million in damages for the violation of his rights.

2. **Hon. Rifkatu Danna v. Bauchi State House of Assembly (2017)**
Falana successfully challenged the illegal suspension of Hon. Danna, with the Court of Appeal ruling that her suspension violated the rights of her constituents to representation.

3. **Hon. Abdulmumin Jibrin v. House of Representatives (2018)**
Representing Hon. Jibrin, Falana won a case where the Federal High Court nullified Jibrin's 180-day suspension from the House of Representatives, ordering the payment of his withheld salaries and allowances.

4. **Senator Ali Ndume v. Nigerian Senate (2017)**
Falana's legal advocacy led to the annulment of Senator Ndume's suspension by the Senate, reinforcing the illegality of such legislative suspensions without due process.

5. **National Conscience Party v. INEC (2003)**
Falana was part of the legal team that challenged the Independent National Electoral Commission's (INEC) imposition of nomination fees, leading to a Supreme Court decision that such fees were unconstitutional.

6. **Joseph Odafe & Others v. Attorney-General of the Federation**
In this case, Falana's advocacy contributed to a Federal High Court ruling that upheld the socioeconomic rights of citizens under the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights, which is part of Nigerian law.

7. **Alhaji Sani Dododo v. EFCC & Others**
Falana was involved in this case where the Court of Appeal affirmed that the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights, as part of Nigerian law, protects the socioeconomic rights of citizens.

8. **Elder Areola Abraham Love v. Oba Semiu Ogunjobi (2025)**
Falana filed a ₦200 million lawsuit against Oba Ogunjobi on behalf of Elder Love, who was assaulted by the monarch. The case highlighted the enforcement of fundamental human rights against traditional authorities.

9. **Femi Falana v. Meta Platforms Inc. (2025)**
Falana sued Meta for $5 million over a misleading video that falsely claimed he suffered from prostatitis. The case underscores the enforcement of privacy rights under Nigerian law.

10. **Omoyele Sowore v. DSS (2019)**
Falana represented activist Omoyele Sowore, challenging his detention by the DSS. The court ordered Sowore's release, reinforcing the protection of personal liberty.

These cases illustrate Falana's commitment to defending human rights and upholding the rule of law in Nigeria.

Now, it's time for Barrister Nyesom Wike to take up the challenge.

The only person being ridiculed here is Wike , a so-called Life Bencher who has never filed a case in any court.

But why are there cases that clearly have not been won stated there.

Why is the poster being deceptive for what should be a straightforward argument?

Do you know why they say, a man who is wearing white has no business playing with the one that is carrying red oil? If you understand that, you may understand what the person you quote is trying to say. Wike is not a SAN neither is he known as a practicing lawyer, because his aid said something, you are bringing out cases to justify your title and now some people are already saying, these cases are not supreme court cases, how many of these cases are for ordinary Nigerian, there are people with similar wins that are not SAN etc, unfortunately nobody will ask Wike any of those questions, have you seen where the self ridicule comes in?

Who is wearing white and who is caring red oil?
Both Wike and Falana are lawyers.
Falana's SAN award was questioned by Wike
Wike's life bencher award was questioned by Falana
This is a newspaper report not by Falana himself cause I personally know a case Falana won during the military era that's not listed here. That particular case led to what we call bail is free in Nigeria today
So let Wike's media people also showed us what Wike has done as a lawyer to warrant becoming a life bencher
Becoming life bencher is not by building houses for judges or law school
Lawyers are not construction engineers
Stop supporting mediocrity
