Abuja — The Supreme Court will January 31 next year determine the appeal filed by the Federal Government against the Court of Appeal decision that the Human Rights Violations Investigation Commission (HRVIC) was not backed by law.
Former military President, General Ibrahim Babangida (rtd.) is challenging the legality of HRVIC. He had sought an order stopping the commission from summoning him to give evidence during the HRVIC sessions.
Babangida was summoned by the commission to give evidence in relation to the Letter bomb murder of Mr. Dele Giwa, founding Editor-in-Chief of Newswatch magazine, in 1986.
