hehehehe.......The notorious kidnapper, Evans, through his counsel, Olukoya Ogungbeje, filed the lawsuit against the Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, the Nigeria Police Force, the Lagos state Commissioner of Police Fatai Owoseni and the Special Anti-Robbery Squad, Lagos state Police Command, yesterday June 28th. He is challenging his continuous detention by the police. He is asking the court to order the police to release him or charge him to court.
According to a report by Vanguard, Evans's father, Mr. Stephen Onwuamadike also filed a 27 paragraph affidavit in support of the suit.
In the affidavit, Evans’ father argued that his son had been subjected to media trial instead of being tried in a competent court of jurisdiction. He argued that his son had not been granted fear hearing in any court and is now being judged by the reports published by the media.
Evans's father added that since his son’s arrest, all his family members have been denied access to him while media practitioners have been granted unhindered access to him. The court is yet to assign a judge to the case and also fix a date for hearing.
Meanwhile, the IG of police said they have a court warrant to hold Evans for at least 3 months.
