He can and you will do nothing. If all you Flattinos decide to pick up arms against the FG again, we will repeat the 1967 to 1970 Xmas party.

Next time, tell your thieving brother to go and buy Aisha Buhari's line and start calling Atikuchukwu for money that Aisha wants to do burial for her great grandmother.

SIM card: Man sues Buhari’s daughter, DSS, demands N500m

A trader, Anthony Okolie, who was arrested by the Department of State Services and detained for 10 weeks, has sued the DSS for N500m.

Okolie, in a suit filed before the Federal High Court in Asaba, Delta State, by his lawyer, Tope Akinyode, also demanded N500m from Hanan Buhari, the daughter of the President, Major General Muhammadu (retd.), as well as a telecommunications company, MTN.

The suit, with number FHC/ASB/CS/3/2020, is seeking an order to “compel the respondents (DSS, Hanan and MTN) jointly or severally to pay the applicant the sum of N500,000,000 only as general and aggravated damages for the gross and unlawful violation of the applicant’s right to acquire moveable properties, freedom of movement and self dignity.”

The 33-year-old man said in a supporting affidavit that he was arrested on July 19, 2019, in Asaba, Delta State, for using a telephone line that was previously owned by Hanan.

According to him, he remained in custody, bound by handcuffs, till September 22, 2019, as the DSS waited for Hanan, who was schooling in the United Kingdom, to come and clear him but she never did.

Okolie also attached the receipt he was issued after purchasing the SIM card as well as the SIM certificate.

The affidavit read in part, “That on December 8, 2019, at Ogbeogonogo Market, Nebu Road, Asaba, Delta State, I purchased a SIM card with Phone Number, 09035666662, for the sum of N1,000 only and I received a SIM pack with accompanying documents as a result as evidence of purchase receipt.

“That in line with relevant regulations, I approached a kit operator of the 3rd respondent (MTN) named Jeff, who captured my biometric and registered the SIM card in my name and on my behalf.

“That in July, 2019, I visited my business associate at his residence in Asaba and saw him being taken away by officers of the 1st respondent (DSS). During the process, they obtained information from him on who he communicated with last over the phone and my associated announced that it was me.

“That immediately afterwards, officers of the 1st respondent (DSS) arrested me and led me to their vehicle, asking me to keep quiet and drove me to their offices in Asaba, Delta, State.

“That after a while, they disclosed that my arrest was ordered by the Presidency and I had to be taken to Abuja for further interrogation on which basis they drove me to Abuja by road the following day.”

The applicant stated that he explained to the DSS how he bought the SIM card but he was informed that the phone line, which was linked to his SIM card, was once used by Hanan.

“They thereafter labelled me a criminal for using a phone line that previously belonged to the 2nd respondent,” he said.

Okolie alleged that because of the personality involved, his case file was tagged, ‘First Family’ and he was denied access to his lawyers.

The trader claimed that his mother, who was not allowed to see him, developed high blood pressure while he lost a N5m business deal.

He added, “They also disclosed to me that the President wants to see me and my case was boldly earmarked, First Family. Based on the foregoing, officers of the 1st respondent (DSS) maintained that the 2nd respondent (Hanan) must be available to clarify her allegations against me before I was allowed freedom from their facilities.

“That the 2nd respondent (Hanan) was contacted several times by officers of the 1st respondent (DSS) but the 2nd respondent (Hanan) declined making herself available by claiming that she was busy with studies in the United Kingdom.”

Okolie asked the court to declare that his long detention was an abuse of his fundamental human rights.

He asked the court to declare that the actions of the DSS contravened sections 35 and 34 of the 1999 Constitution.

Another strategy to embezzle money. Some set of people in the government are about to get more richer with these cooking stoves.


Naija when we go get sense?

GamalNasser:

Osagyefo98:
Nonsense

Edo state is in SS , a Muslim dominated state also with a Muslim as deputy governor.

uruba23:
You got a problem with that, go run for office and what makes you think she wasn't representing her father at the event. Any stop running your mouth calling people ZOMBIES when you really haven't tested the level of your own foolishness ..Ode

DaBullIT:
Bastards argued with me

And same idiots are still saying the suspect shouldn't have been released ,


I know a few lawyers are on this forum, intent was emphasised in the write-up, meaning he hasn't scammed anyone successfully yet


Same sets of idiots are saying its a cover up


Believe what you choose but the fact remains (albeit known to sensible people) okolie attempted to defraud people

He ran away from home

And was arrested for intent to defraud

Gerrard59:
Someone who knows it well enough!

Not just Abia state but Cross River, Rivers and Imo. The moment you drive on motorable roads, know that you have entered Akwa Ibom. Her contiguous neighbours' roads are terrible!

So if they give Oga Falana an official car his Son Falz cannot borrow it to go close a deal using the company driver....Biko we have better challenges to face...Biko it is within their right and priviledges .

lonelydora:
Nigerians can say whatever they like.

But, I must confess (as a frequent road user) that Federal roads are better in this administration than in GEJ's administration.

If it hasn't reached your side, calm down, work is currently ongoing in all federal roads.

I am neither PDP nor APC
