Justice Abdulaziz Anka of a Lagos
Federal High Court on Wednesday ordered that the fundamental rights enforcement
suit filed by billionaire kidnapper, Chukwudumeme Onwuamadike, also known as
Evans against the Nigeria Police Force will proceed.
Anka gave the ruling while
dismissing the objections of counsel to the Nigeria Police Force, Emmanuel Eze,
during proceedings in Evans’ N300m suit.
The judge agreed with Counsel to
Evans, Olukoya Ogungbeje that service on the first and second respondents in
the case had been properly effected.
The first and second respondents
in the suit are the Inspector General of Police, the Nigeria Police Force. The
other respondents are the Lagos State Police Commissioner and the Special Anti
Robbery Squad, SARS.
Justice Anka also ruled that
leave was not required for the matter to be heard during vacation as Order 4
Rule 5 of the Fundamental Rights Enforcement Procedure Rules of 2009, enjoins
the court to pursue speed and justice on issues of fundamental human rights.
Evans, through his lawyer had
filed a N300m lawsuit against the police, challenging his continued detention
since June 10 without arraignment.
The billionaire kidnapper is
asking the court to award him N300m as exemplary damages for his alleged illegal
detention and the alleged harm caused by his media trial.
