Court Dismisses Kidnapper Evans N300m Suit Against IGP, Others by Sleempapa(m): 7:58am On Jan 17, 2018
Justice Abdulazeez Anka of the Federal High
Court, Lagos has dismissed the N300 million
fundamental right enforcement suit, instituted
by suspected billionaire kidnapper,
Chukwudumeme Onwuamadike aka Evans.
Justice Anka dismissed the suit for lacking in
merit.
Evans who was arrested on June 10th
2017, filed the suit against the Inspector-
General of Police (IGP), Ibrahim Idris and
three others challenging his arrest and
detention beyond the legally allowed time by
the police. Joined as respondents in the suit
were the Nigerian Police Force (NPF),
Commissioner of Police (COP) Lagos State
and the Lagos State Anti-Robbery Squad
(SARS) as second, third and fourth
respondents respectively.
In the fundamental rights enforcement suit,
Evans, had urged the court for an order
directing the police to charge him to court
immediately or release him on bail. Evans had
also alleged that he was subjected to media
trial during his arrest. Ogungbeje argued that
Evans’ detention since June 10 to 22, 2017
without being charged to court was a violation
of his client’s fundamental rights enshrined in
sections 35 (1) (c) (3) (4) (5) (a) (b) and 36
of the Constitution.
However, the police through its counsel,
Emmanuel Eze, had urged court to
discountenance Evan’s application, and
dismissed same accordingly, for lacking in
merit, as no infraction was committed as
claimed by Evans.
Delivering judgement in the suit, the presiding
judge, Justice Anka ruled that Ogungbeje was
unable to argue his case based on Section 35
and 36 of the constitution. The judge also
ruled that the decision of the police to detain
Evans from June 10, till June 22, 2017, was
reasonable, as the police had told the court
that they had an order to detain him for 90
days.
On the allegation of subjecting the applicant,
Evans, to media trial, the judge stated that
there is no law that can stop the media from
carrying out their constitutional duty.
Consequently, Justice Anka pronounced
Evans’ suit not succeed and dismissed it
accordingly.
