Court restrains Federal Government from       

A Federal High Court sitting in Ikoyi, Lagos, yesterday granted an order restraining the Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF), Mohammed Adoke; Inspector General of Police (IGP), Mohammed Abubakar; the State Security Service (SSS); and all agencies of the Federal Government from arresting and detaining suspended Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Mallam Sanusi Lamido Sanusi.

In his ruling, Justice Buba Ibrahim said status quo be maintained pending the determination of a fundamental human rights suit Sanusi filed.
He had complained that he was unlawfully arrested, detained, and had his passport seized on Thursday.
According to him, the actions were in violation of his right to personal liberty, freedom of movement, and right to dignity of human person, as guaranteed under Sections 34, 35 and 41 of the 1999 Constitution.
Former Attorney-general of Lagos State, Professor Yemi Osinbajo (SAN) and Kola Awodein (SAN), are holding brief for the Kano-born royal prince.
