Human Rights Lawyer in Lagos

Where rights are violated by the state or private actors, speed decides the outcome. We move on enforcement applications, bail and, where necessary, public interest litigation.

Unlawful arrest and detention

Detention beyond the constitutionally permitted period without a court order is unlawful. We apply for enforcement of fundamental rights, seeking release, a declaration and damages, while pursuing administrative bail in parallel.

Police brutality and abuse of process

We act on assault in custody, extortion, unlawful search and seizure, and abuse of criminal process used to settle civil disputes — including orders restraining further harassment.

Employment and discrimination claims

Unfair dismissal, unpaid entitlements and discriminatory treatment, pursued before the National Industrial Court and other appropriate fora.

Public interest litigation

Freedom of information requests, judicial review of administrative action, and representation in matters affecting civil liberties, including selected pro bono work.
