A Federal High Court, Abuja has fixed November 29 to hear a suit filed by Precious Chikwendu against her ex-husband, Mr Femi Fani-Kayode following the inability of Justice Inyang Ekwo to preside at Wednesday’s sitting.
Chikwendu had, in a fundamental rights enforcement application, sued Fani-Kayode, the ex-Minister of Aviation, and four others.
The applicant sued the Inspector-General (I-G) of Police; Deputy Inspector-General of Police, Force CID; Commissioner of Police FCT; CSP James Idachaba, Officer-in-Charge, Legal (CID), FCT Command, and her ex-husband as 1st to 5th respondents respectively.
Chikwendu is demanding the sum of N800 million as damages over the role played by the respondents in the alleged intimidation and harassment levelled against them by her invitation while proceeding was pending in suit number: CV/372/2021 in respect of child custody matters.
Besides, she also asked the court to restrain the I-G and his officers and men from intimidating and harassing her in any form, pending the hearing and determination of her suit seeking the custody of her four children, among other reliefs.
In the affidavit in support of the application, the ex-wife alleged that Fani-Kayode, who is also a qualified legal practitioner, had been using the police to harass and intimidate her despite the pendency of the matter in court.
She averred that: “The 5th respondent (Fani-Kayode) and I have four (4) children together and I am forcefully separated from our children who are all minors.
