Court stops NSCDC, officials from harassing contractor over executed project

The High Court of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) in Nyanya, Abuja, on Thursday, restrained the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), its Commander-General, Ahmed Audi, and others from further harassing a contractor, Christian Igbo, over a completed contract.

In a judgment, the judge, Edward Okpe, also ordered the security agency to pay Mr Igbo over N29 million balance of the contract sum legitimately awarded and executed by him.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the applicant had, in an originating motion on notice marked: CV/2115/2023 and filed by Pascal Obioha, sued the NSCDC, the commander-general, and some agency officials.
