The Date Has Been Set For Court To Hear Evans’ Case Against Police… See Details. by MhiztaOgaBoss: 3:37pm On Jul 06, 2017 |
The date has been set for the court hearing of a suit
filed by suspected billionaire kidnapper, Evans,
against the police.
July 13 has been fixed by the Federal High Court in Lagos for
hearing in a N300m fundamental rights enforcement suit
filed by suspected kidnap kingpin, Chukwudumeme
Onwuamadike a.k.a. Evans, against the Inspector-General of
Police, Punch Metro reports.
Evans, through his lawyer, Olukoya Ogungbeje, filed the suit
last week urging the court to order the police to charge him
to court or release him immediately.
He urged the court to award N300m damages against the
police in his favour for his alleged unlawful detention without
being charged to court.
A source at the court said on Wednesday that the case was
initially assigned to Justice Babs Kuewumi, but was later
returned to the court’s registry to enable it to be assigned to
another judge who would hear it during the court’s long
vacation.
The source said, “The case was assigned to Justice
Kuewumi. But due to its nature, the judge felt it would be
better handled by a vacation judge.
“He felt it would not be ideal to adjourn it for hearing until
after the long vacation in September.
“So, it was the judge who gave the parties the July 13 date to
appear before the vacation judge after studying the file.”
In the suit, Evans is seeking a court’s order directing the
respondents to immediately charge him to court if there is
any case against him in accordance with sections 35 (1) (c)
(3) (4) (5) (a) (b) and 36 of the constitution.
He is, in the alternative, seeking an order compelling the
respondents to immediately release him unconditionally in
the absence of any offence that will warrant his being
charged to court.
Evans is contending that his continued detention by the
respondents since June 10, 2017, without being charged to
court or released on bail is an infringement on his
fundamental human rights. |
