The suit, filed at the Federal High Court, Abuja by Maikori’s lawyers Ballason’s Chambers, has the Maikori demanding for a N10 billion damages.
The case was heard by Justice John Tsoho on Tuesday and Maikori is praying the court to enforce his fundamental rights against undue harassment and intimidation by the Kaduna State government, the State Governor and the Nigeria Police.

He was eventually released on bail and cleared of any complicity by the Police Force Headquarters.
He was then released and taken to Kaduna where he was detained for four days before he was charged to court.
He was granted bail on health grounds.
El-Rufai, had before his second arrest, vowed to prosecute Maikori at the fifth edition of social media week in Lagos.
