A High Court of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) in Jabi will rule Thursday on the application by businessman, Ifeanyi Ubah seeking the vacation of its earlier order granting the Department of State Services (DSS) permission to detain him.
Justice Haliru Yusuf gave the date while adjourning proceedings in the case earlier today after listening to lawyers representing parties argued for and against the application.
Ubah, who was arrested by the DSS, is being detained by the agency upon an order for detention for 14 days (in the first instance) granted it on May 10 this year, by the court.
The businessman is being detained over allegation of his involvement in acts amounting to economic sabotage by purportedly diverting petroleum motor spirit (PMS) stored in his tank farm by the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), estimated at over N11billion.
