For allegedly accessing the call records on his mobile phone number 08034600000 without his authority and making it available to Sahara Reporters and other online news media without any reasonable cause or a lawful court order, MTN Nigeria has been slammed with a N5b suit by embattled Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Rickey Tarfa.
In the suit, Tarfa is seeking a declaration of the court that the telecommunications services company violated his fundamental right to privacy.
Recall that on February 5, 2016, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC had arrested Tarfa and confiscated his two mobile phones and Mercedes Benz SUV with Registration No. KJA 700 CG for allegedly hiding two suspects in his car to prevent their arrest.
Tarfa joined the EFCC, its Chairman Ibrahim Magu, Mrs. Rashidatou Abdou and Mr. Femi Falana, SAN as co-respondents in the suit.
The plaintiff is also seeking other reliefs which include 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.
Tarfa also wants 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 Galaxy 6 phone with number 08077341616 without any reasonable cause or any court order.
In the suit backed with a 134-paragraph affidavit, the plaintiff prayed the court to order the defendants to pay him five billion naira for violating his fundamental right to privacy.
