Twitter Ban: Civic Group, SERAP To Appeal Court Ruling Dismissing Its Suit Against Nigerian Government | Sahara Reporters

The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project says it will appeal a judgment of the Federal High Court in Abuja which dismissed its suit against the Federal Government over the Twitter ban.

But on Thursday, Justice Obiora Egwuatu of the Federal High Court, Abuja, in a judgment, dismissed the suit for lacking in merit and awarded the sum of N100, 000 against the plaintiff. The judge held that the media houses, under which SERAP had filed the suit, did not complain about the ban, hence, the plaintiff could not cry more than the bereaved.

“We'll immediately challenge this misapplication of our law, and manifest miscarriage of justice, even if it will take pursuing the case to the Supreme Court.
