Mummy of UK, Bobrisky files lawsuit against EFCC for violating his fundamental human rights

Bobrisky, a popular Nigerian socialite, has taken a bold step by filing a lawsuit against the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for allegedly violating his fundamental human rights.

The lawsuit seeks to enforce and protect his rights as guaranteed under the Nigerian Constitution and the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights.

In the lawsuit, Bobrisky claims that the EFCC summoned him for investigation based on a hearsay WhatsApp phone call published by Martins Vincent Otse, also known as VeryDarkMan. Bobrisky alleges that the EFCC failed to investigate the authenticity of the recording, which led to his ridicule on social media, threats from unknown persons, and invasion of his privacy.

Bobrisky is seeking damages of ₦1 billion against the EFCC for violating his right to fair hearing, privacy, and freedom from discrimination. He is also seeking ₦200 million against the National Assembly for reckless reporting and failure to investigate the allegations properly.

The lawsuit highlights several grounds, including:

– Violation of Fundamental Rights: Bobrisky’s rights as guaranteed under the Nigerian Constitution and the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights.

– Lack of Investigation: The EFCC’s failure to investigate the authenticity of the defamatory recording.

– Invasion of Privacy: The EFCC’s actions led to Bobrisky’s ridicule on social media and invasion of his privacy.

– Denial of Right to Counsel: The EFCC refused Bobrisky’s right to counsel and examine witnesses.

Bobrisky has also accused the EFCC and other security agencies of violating human rights and acting above the law. The lawsuit is a significant step towards seeking justice and protecting his rights.
