The human rights lawyer has been critical of Nigerian security agencies over cases of abuses and disregard for the rule of law.

He sued the Nigerian army over its planned ‘operation open identification’ which he said is unconstitutional.

He is the counsel of Omoyele Sowore, convener of #RevolutionNow Movement, whom the Department of State Services (DSS) has refused to release despite a court order.
