human rights, and corruption as well as the inability of the anti-corruption agencies particularly EFCC to tackle corruption and most often exposing the poor practices of anti-corruption officials. The Plaintiff avers that he was counsel to a suspect who was charged for a criminal offence of fraud at the Federal High Court Port-Harcourt Division. Being a law firm that handles mostly civil matters, the Plaintiff decided to discontinue his representation to which he filed an application to that effect on the 1st of August 2007. This application was granted by the court. On the 16th of June 2009 while the Plaintiff was in his law firm, some agents of the Defendant (EFCC officials) stormed into his office, ransacked and took away documents, as well as the Plaintiff to their office where he was detained for two days from the 16th-18th June 2009 on the grounds that the accused person he ceased to represent sometime in 2007 had jumped bail and that the Plaintiff must produce the accused. The Plaintiff avers that while in detention, the agents of the Defendants forced him to enter an undertaking to produce the accused on a particular day and also seized his law school certificates as conditions for his release. Not only that, the Defendants agents asked the junior lawyer from the Plaintiffs law firm, who came to surety him to deposit his Law School and call to bar certificates as a pre-condition for the release of the Plaintiff. 3
