### Nigerian Crypto Activist Fights for Fundamental Rights

Nigerian crypto activist and politician James Otudor has launched a legal battle to defend Nigerians' rights to own, use, and trade cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and USDT. In a bold move, Otudor is challenging several key entities, including the President of Nigeria, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), and the Nigerian Police Force.

- **Legal Action**: Otudor's case, which began on August 9, argues that Nigerians are being unfairly targeted and restricted from accessing digital assets, violating their fundamental human rights.

- **Key Demands**: The lawsuit calls for an immediate reversal of the ban on cryptocurrency exchanges and demands that the government regulate Bitcoin as a commodity if it wishes to act as a regulator.

- **Context**: This comes amid Nigeria's increasingly strict stance on cryptocurrencies, with the CBN imposing various restrictions, making it tough for crypto enthusiasts and businesses.

Stay tuned for updates on this landmark case that could reshape Nigeria's crypto landscape.
