Sanusi financing terrorism – FG, SSS

The Federal Government and  the State Security Service have accused the suspended Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Mallam Lamido Sanusi, of financing terrorism.

They made the allegation in  counter-affidavits  they deposed to before  a Federal High Court   which is hearing  a suit instituted by Sanusi. The ex-CBN chief  is seeking a perpetual injunction to restrain the SSS and the police from arresting him.

Sanusi’s lawyer, Mr. Kola Awodein,  who made reference to the  allegation  on Monday, told the court    it was an afterthought which government came up with after seizing  Sanusi’s passport.

Awodein  said, “The seizure of the applicant’s international passport by the third respondent, is a violation of his freedom of movement.

“The first to third respondents give conflicting reasons as to the complaint made against the applicant: This conflict goes to show that they acted without due process of the law.

“The allegation against the applicant as to funding of terrorism, is an afterthought by the respondents, which is not backed by facts, as there is no reasonable suspicion that the applicant committed any crime.

The SSS had seized Sanusi’s passport after  he  was  suspended as CBN governor in March. Following that, he  had  instituted the suit to restrain the security agencies from   arresting or harassing him.
