Nigerian Lawyer sues Buhari’s daughter for ‘illegal’ use of presidential aircraft

A Lawyer, Oluwatosin Ojaomo, has sued Hanan, one of President Muhammadu Buhari’s daughters, for illegal use of the presidential aircraft.

Ojaomo instituted the action at the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), alleging that Hanan used the aircraft for her private assignment.

In the suit, filed on February 6, Ojaomo is asking the court to, among others, declare as unlawful Hanan’s alleged use of the aircraft for her private engagement in Buachi State on January 10, 2020.

In a statement of claim, the plaintiff is claiming that not being a public officer, the President’s daughter was not entitled to fly in any of the presidential aircraft at a cost to the state.

The case is yet to be assigned for hearing.
