The Federal High Court Sitting in Lagos has ruled that the Fundamental
Rights Enforcement Suit filed by Suspected Billionaire Kidnapper,
Chukwudumeme Onwuamadike popularly known as ‘Evans’ can proceed.
Justice Abdulaziz Anka dismissed the objections of Emmanuel Eze, the
counsel for the third and fourth respondent and agreed with Counsel to
Evans, Olukoya Ogungbeje that service on the Ist and 2nd respondent 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.
In his ruling, Justice Anka also held 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.
In the application, the suspected Kidnapper, ‘Evans’ is challenging his continued detention since June 10 without arraignment.
He claims that his parade on June 11 before journalists at the Lagos
police command headquarters in Ikeja, without a court order, is
unconstitutional and illegal.
Evan wants the court to award him N300m as exemplary damages for his
alleged illegal detention and the alleged harm caused by his media
trial.
He has also asked the court to order the police authorities to
immediately arraign him before a law court, or release him from custody.
