Concerned Nigerians Drag Buhari to Court, Want NIA DG Sacked

Muhammadu Buhari
Controversies have continued to  trail the appointment of Ahmed  Rufai Abubakar as the Director  General of the National  Intelligence Agency, NIA as Deji  Adeyanju, acting for Concerned  Nigerians, has dragged President  Muhammadu Buhari, Abubakar  and Attorney General of the  Federation to court seeking for  an order among others to remove the NIA DG.
In a suit filed at the Federal High  Court, Abuja registered as  FHC/ABJ/CS/56/2018 dated  January 19, 2018 through  originating summons brought  under Order 3 Rule 6 and 7 of the federal High Court Civil  procedure rules seeks the  defendants to appear in court to  defend their actions.
The process raised two questions  for determination which are:  “Whether by the provisions  of  section 14(3) of the 1999  Constitution of the federal  republic of Nigeria (as amended)  the !st Defendant (President  Buhari) can appoint  the 2nd  Defendant who is from Katsina  State as Director-General  of the  National Intelligence Agency  when the Director General, State  Security Services, Lawal Musa   Daura is also from Katsina State.
“Whether  by the provision of  section 2(3) of the National  Security  Agencies Act, the  second Defendant (Abubakar) is a fit and proper person to be  appointed as Director General of  the National Intelligence  Agency”.
Adeyanju further prayed for two  declarative reliefs and two orders  from the court. He sought for “A  declaration  that by the  provisions of section 14(3) of the  1999 Constitution  of the Federal  Republic of Nigeria (as amended), the 1st Defendant (Buhari)  cannot appoint the second  Defendant (Abubakar) who is  from Katsina State, as Director  General of the National  Intelligence Agency when the  Director General of the State  Security Services, Lawal Musa  Daura is also from Katsina State.
“A declaration that by the  provisions of section 2(3) of the  National Security Agencies  Act,  the 2nd Defendant is not a fit and proper person  to be appointed  as Director General of the  National Intelligence agency”.
Adeyanju prayed for an order of  court to remove Abubakar as the  Director General of the National  Intelligence Agency in addition to an order for a perpetual injuction  restraining Buhari whether by  himself, his office, agents,  servants or privies or otherwise   howsoever from further  appointing  Abubakar as the  Director Geberal of the NIA and  further such orders as the court  may deem fit in the circumstance.
There had been disenchantment  over the appointment of  Abubakar who some alleged did  not pass some promotional  examinations and therefore was  not a proper and fit person to  hold such an exalted office.
Others also kicked against the  appointment, decrying it as  clannishness pushed too far.
However, no date has been fixed  for the hearing on the suit.
