Embattled Senior Advocate of Nigeria,

CG, on the allegation that Tarfa hid two alleged suspects of economic
and financial crimes in his car to prevent their arrest.
Joined as respondents in Tarfa’s second
fundamental rights enforcement suit are the EFCC, its Chairman, Ibrahim
Magu, Mrs. Rashidatou Abdou and Mr. Femi Falana (SAN).
Among other reliefs, Tarfa is urging the
court to hold that it was unlawful for his iPhone 6 with mobile number
08034600000 to have been used in calling one Alhaji Ado in Kaduna on
mobile number 08061272929 on February 9, 2016 while the said phone was
with Magu and the EFCC without any reasonable cause or any court order.
He is also urging the court to hold that
it was unlawful for the EFCC to access his bank details, clients
information, private and confidential information contained in his
iPhone 6 with number 08034600000 and Samsung 6 phone with number
08077341616 without any reasonable cause or any court order.
He is urging the court to order the respondents to pay him N5bn for the alleged violation of his rights.
The suit was backed with a 134-paragraph
affidavit, wherein Tarfa chronicled how the relationship between his
client, Ghanhoue Nazaire, and the 3rd respondent, Mrs. Rashidatou Abdou,
broke down in 2011 leading to the filing of a suit for the winding down
of their company, Rana Prestige Industries Nigeria Limited.
