Human rights lawyer , Mr. Femi Falana (SAN) has threatened to sue the Federal Government of Nigeria after an event where he fell into a manhole and sustained injuries.
Falana said this while delivering his speech at the National Stakeholders ’ Summit on Whistle - blowing in Abuja on Tuesday.
He said , “ I am sure you saw me limping and using a walking stick when I was coming in. It is because I fell into a manhole while walking to my office on Shehu Shagari Way.
“I broke my leg and I am even wearing plaster of Paris and I was even hospitalised . So, I won’t, like the ordinary Nigerian, leave it to God.
“I have decided that tomorrow I will sue the Federal Government”
Falana also flayed Governor Rochas Okorocha for erecting statues in honour of the South African President, Jacob Zuma and his Liberian counterpart, Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf.
The human rights lawyer said both presidents had corruption cases in their countries and Okorocha was insulting the sensibilities of Nigerians.
