Nigeria faces ECOWAS court challenge over mass phone surveillance law violating privacy rights.
Nigeria is facing a legal challenge at the ECOWAS Community Court of Justice over its 2019 Lawful Interception of Communications Regulations, which permit mass phone surveillance.
The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) argues the rules violate constitutional and international human rights, including privacy and free expression, due to broad, unchecked powers with vague justifications and insufficient judicial oversight.
SERAP seeks a court declaration that the regulations are unlawful, their immediate withdrawal, and a new legislative process to ensure compliance with human rights standards.
The case follows allegations of surveillance abuse, including claims that former Kaduna Governor Nasir El-Rufai and the National Security Adviser were targeted.
No hearing date has been set.
