A Federal High Court in Lagos has said the Army lacks the power to implement “Operation Positive Identification”.
The activist lawyer had filed the Fundamental Rights Enforcement suit on October 25, 2019 against the planned exercise by the army scheduled to hold from 1 November to 23 December 2019. Falana, in his suit, emphasised it is illegal and unconstitutional for the court to uphold an act that would require Nigerians to move around with a valid means of identification, such as the National Identification Card, Voters Registration Card, Drivers’ Licence and passports or other valid official identification, pleaded the court to dismiss the idea behind the exercise.
