Please I Need A Human Rights Lawyers For My Dad Case by fnep2smooth(m): 6:48pm On Dec 30, 2014
Update
This December 2019 will make it 5years my father has bring facing trial.
i created this 2 years after pls read to understand the case

https://www.nairaland.com/2992009/dad-wrongly-detained-please-need

please help us.
He is in OWERRI prison.

please Mod,
I Don't know if this is the right section to write this but I can't find Legal thread or anything concerning legal stuff so I have to write this here. this is my story.

I just finished my one year industrial training in Abuja, then I got a sad news from home that some police from umuahia zone 9 division came to arrest my dad for murder two weeks ago. so when I came back from Abuja on 21 that's when I got the full story from my mum and it goes like this :


My dad works for the imo state rescue mission and he is in charge of ngor okpala and some other local government. so he got a call from his co worker last three weeks that a man had an accident along owerri - aba road. so he rush there with his boys to take the body to the hospital, so before he could reach there some passer by and okada has taken the man to the hospital so he has to drive there, that's when he discovered that the man that had the accident was is former worker in the imo state rescue mission. so after the incident the people of the dead man accused my dad of killing the man. this issue was addressed in owerri police station and they find my dad not guilty.

three days after the man's brother went to umuahia zone 9 to unlawfully arrest my dad and right now my dad is in the prison for a crime he didn't commit. the police are asking for money and we have spend up to 100k still no success. and the worst of it. the people who arrest my dad is no where to be find and according to the police man that talked to my elder brother, he said they only brought him there to kill him and in the statement they wrote. they only mention one witness who claim to see my dad on a HIGH way using stick and knives to kill the man and later throw away the body by side the road ( this accident happened right in front of a market and people are around) so how did they come up with such allegations.

Am confused and I don't know what to do. the police are asking for more money and we have two witnesses that have been to the police station that my dad is innocent but the police don't want to release him. the police are asking us to bring the three people who took the man to the hospital. but how can we know those people and right now the man that accused my dad is no where to be find for 3weeks now.
pls help..
your advice is highly needed.

update

some witnesses we met are afraid to go and testify because the police can arrest them ad demand for bail which will be more than 10k
right now we are weak . we told them to charge it to court but they refused.

No investigation
No thing No thing.

someone just show up in a station and accuse someone and they didn't do any investigation and they came to arrest him.. is that proper.
my house feels empty like I lost my dad.

pls someone should advice


Update

the police are asking for money to perform autopsy and we should bring fuel money before they can come from umuahia to owerri where the accident happens for investigation. We try to plead for them to understand but the man said if we fails to do anything, my dad will be there till April next year and they will charger him for murder case.

WHAT KIND OF COUNTRY IS THIS
The investigation is been done and he was find not guilty.
The autopsy is been carried out and for the past three weeks... no report has been made.
All they want is money, money money



my dad name is
Richard Ekenma

Currently in Criminal investigation department (CID)
Zone 9 umuahia, Abia state.

The number of the IPO in charge of the case is
08037862017 ( Mr omoh )

Pls someone should help. We have no money to keep giving to all this police and they done want to help the case.. my dad has been detained for 2 months now..

if only you could come to ABUJA to tell your story to Ahmed Isa of Berekete family, your Daddy will be released as soon as possible.

Dealing with the nigerian police is very treaky and difficult. Empolying a very good lawyer might cost you a fotune but you are not given a choice. I will suggest that without delay go and look for any lawyer negotiate the fee with him so that ur father can be taken to court. Police detention is never a good place to stay.

The only human right in Nigeria is money. Sadly your dad may be up against some richer thugs that are able to pay the police to lock him up for good or kill him.

I will rather advice you to start clamouring for cash for the services of an independent lawyer rather than human rights lawyers in Nigeria,they are more or less non existent. If you had followed the news recently on nairaland,you would have heard of a case of one human right lawyer standing for Tinubu against sahara reporters. Money for hand,back for ground.

It is a lawless society and only the weak bears the brunts. Even though you have access to the state attorney general, he still won't be able to do much for you,unless serious money changes hands. But with a paid same lawyer,you could manage to force the case to court,then the long process of proving his innocence will begin.

The police said before we can bring a lawyer we need to bring about 4 more witnesses with the already two witnesses we brought.
Now some passer by and okada who saw the accident don't want to get involved because of fear of police detention.
So we can't force them to come

The lawyer has to set the motion by making them prove your dad guilty by taking him to law court. The police are not the he court,they don't have any right to hold your father incommunicado without charging him with evidence that he committed the crime and that is what the lawyer should be there to force then to do it.

Ok I understand your point but we have try but they refused. I know they want money but they don't want to make it easy for us
