N1BN Founder Founder Founder on Nipss vault for illegal …

The founder of Prnigeria, Mallam Yushau A. Shuaib, established a cause before the High Federal Court in Abuja, challenging his retreat from the Senior Executive Course course (sec) 47 of the National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies (Nipss), Kuru, Plateau State.

In the marked cause Thc/Abj/CS/1329/2025, Shuaib, a famous public relations expert, asks for 1 billion damage in general, special and aggravated against Nips on alleged emotional traumas and damage to reputation. He is also looking for further n100 million as litigation costs, after issuing a pre -action notice on June 16, 2025, to the general manager of the institute, Professor Ayo Omotayo, who was presumably ignored by the Management.

The case, presented in his name by a senior supporter of Nigeria (San), Yunus Abdulsalam, is looking for an order of the court that sets aside his retreat from the century 47 and restoring him with full rights, benefits and privileges. Shuaib is also asking for a perpetual injunction that limits Nips, its agents or officials from further harassment, intimidation or cyberbullying.

In his origin convening, the actor raised eight issues for determination. He argued that the publication of an article of news of Prnigeria, an independent media organization, cannot be legally attributed to him as a bad conduct when he has not authorized. It has also been asked if the alleged access and use of his and -mas Nixs and -mare -free consent Violi his constitutional right to privacy pursuant to section 37 of the 1999 Constitution.

Shuaib also argued that the disciplinary action against him for the professional opinions expressed in a published article violated his right to freedom of expression guaranteed by section 39 (1). He claimed that preventing participants from interacting with him and removing him from official platforms were equivalent to harassment, cyberbullying and forced insulation.

He argued that denying him participation in the international study tour, despite his complete payment of N18.3 million courses commissions, constituted discrimination and violation of the contract. He also criticized his suspension and the withdrawal from the course based on the alleged “outsourcing of the subject” without a fair audition, describing it as a violation of his constitutional right pursuant to section 36 (1).

Shuaib is therefore looking for statements that Nips’ actions were illegal, unjustifiable, discriminatory and not supported by any regulation that guides the institute.

In a sworn declaration of 40 paragraphs, Shuaib said he was appointed by the Nigerian Institute of Public Relations (Nipr) to represent him at the course, a appointment approved by the president of Nigeria. He has attached his letter of admission, proof of payment of N18.3 million and the tests of conformity to the Nipss requirements, including the delivery of responsibilities to his company, Image Merchants Promotion Limited, publishers of Prnigeria.

He said that, despite compliance with the institutional rules, he has undergone harassment, intimidation and arbitrary disciplinary actions. According to him, on March 24, he received a question on an article in Prnigeria entitled “Nixs Goes Digital; he launches the platform without paper after submitting a reference relationship to the president Tinubu”. Shuaib insisted that the article is neither amended nor modified, which other media had widely reported.

He also said that on April 25 Nixs again interrogated him on an internal and internal email concerning an editorial, “understanding of the” blue “in the blue economy”. He said that the article was a professional reflection not containing sensitive information, but the Nipss intercepted it before it could be published.

Shuaib said that the questions were unfounded and not supported by the Nipss conduct code. He also said that his retreat letter dated June 2, 2025 was curiously addressed only to Nipr without being officially served on him.

The actor is asking the Court to restore him at the century 47 with full privileges, to declare that Nipss does not have the authority to penalize him for the contents published by an independent platform, to believe that access to his and private emails has violated his constitutional rights and to declare his illegal, unjustifiable and discreet retreat.

In the meantime, no date has yet been set for the hearing by the chief judge of the high federal court, judge John Tsoho. (Prnigeria)
