In reaction to the Corporate Affairs Commission’s directive to Point of Sale (POS) Agents to register their businesses with the Commission, a POS Agent has approached the Federal High Court sitting in Lagos State for redress against the Corporate Affairs Commission and the Central Bank of Nigeria.

In Suit No. FHC/L/CS/1095/24 filed by the Law Firm of Olumide Babalola LP on behalf of Emmanuel Haruna, the Applicant seeks the following reliefs against both Respondents:

1. A DECLARATION that the Respondents’ Directive to Point of Sale (POS) Terminal Operators to submit their personal information for registration with the 2nd Respondent constitutes an interference with the Applicant’s right to privacy guaranteed by section 37 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999.

2. A DECLARATION that the Respondents’ attempt to force Point of Sale (POS) Terminal Operators to submit their personal information for the purpose of registration with the 2nd Respondent constitutes an interference with the Applicant’s right to privacy guaranteed by section 37 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999.

3. A DECLARATION that the Respondents’ Directive to Point of Sale (POS) Terminal Operators to submit their personal information for the purpose of registration with the 2nd Respondent is unfair contrary to the provision of section 24(1) of the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023.

4. A DECLARATION that the Respondents’ Directive to Point of Sale (POS) Terminal Operators to submit their personal information for the purpose of registration with the 2nd Respondent lacks lawful basis contrary to the provision of section 25(1) of the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023.

5. AN ORDER setting aside the Directive of the Respondents requiring individual POS Terminal Operators to register with the 2nd Respondent.

6. PERPETUAL INJUNCTION restraining the Respondents, their officers, their agents and/or employees from further requiring or mandating the Applicant and/or other POS Terminal Operators to register with the 2nd Respondent.

7. CONSEQUENTIAL ORDER(S) that this honourable court may grant in the circumstances.

The suit filed on Monday, 24th June 2024 is yet to be assigned to any Judge in the division.
