Court Orders Police To Pay Evans’ Brother-In-Law N2M
The Federal High Court in Lagos this morning entered judgment against
the Nigeria Police Force in the fundamental rights enforcement suit
filed by one Mr. Okwuchukwu Obiechina said to be the brother-in-law of
alleged kidnap kingpin, Chukwudumeme Onwuamadike, alias Evans.
According to Punch, Justice Mohammed Idris, in a judgment on Monday, declared Obiechina’s arrest and detention unconstitutional, holding that the remand order which the police claimed to have obtained from a magistrates’ court was invalid.
Apart from ordering the police to immediately release Obiechina unconditionally or charge him to court if they have any case against him, the court also awarded N2m damages in his favour against the police.
Justice Idris ordered the police to tender a public apology to Obiechina to be published in two national dailies.
