Retired Nigerian General Sues Army, Seeks ₦200B Over Unlawful Detention and Compulsory Retirement Retired Nigerian Army Major General Danjuma Hamisu Ali-Keffi has filed a ₦200 billion lawsuit at the National Industrial Court of Nigeria, Abuja, against the Nigerian Army, top military officials, the Minister of Defence, and the Attorney-General of the Federation. Ali-Keffi alleges unlawful arrest, 64 days of detention, torture, denial of fair hearing, and dishonourable compulsory retirement in violation of the Constitution, Armed Forces Act, and military regulations. The retired general claims his detention followed his leadership of a covert Presidential Task Force on counter-terrorism, Operation Service Wide (OSW), which exposed the release of terrorism financing suspects from Army custody. Ali-Keffi is seeking ₦100 billion in compensatory damages, ₦100 billion in punitive damages, ₦120 million for lost allowances, nullification of his compulsory retirement letter, and payment of all pensions and terminal benefits with 10% interest until liquidation. He also alleges death threats against him and his family following his detention and retirement, forcing repeated travel abroad for safety. #NigeriaArmy #AliKeffi #MilitaryLawsuit #CompulsoryRetirement
