Court fixes date for El-Zakzaky suit

A Federal High Court in Abuja has fixed January 19, 2022, to hear the suit filed by the leader of the Islamic Movement of Nigeria, Ibraheem El-Zakzaky against the Department of State Services, DSS and the Attorney General of the Federation, AGF.
In his ruling, the presiding judge, Inyang Ekwo, fixed the date to allow the DSS and AGF, respond to allegations bordering on fundamental rights enforcement, leveled against them.
El-Zakzaky and his wife are demanding general and exemplary damages over the refusal to release their international passports.
They are also praying the court to grant an order, restraining the DSS and AGF, from further violation of their rights.
